Hmmmm... I think for me, there's just too much empty space in this image; the girl is almost secondary, sort of like you were shooting a landscape shot and she suddenly popped up. I think with a tighter composition on her, and some fill light to illuminate her face a little better this would have been a great shot. I also think that with the hood up, you lost a great chance at what would have been a wonderful rimlight effect from the sun.

Her clothing fits, the empty space isolates her nicely. It's like someone who wanted to be closer to her was looking from the pov of the camera. Branches reaching for her from the left add to it as well. I like the light, but did you bring her face up in post? The whole image looks overly sharpened and processed.

As part of a larger set, this shot is nice and serves as what I call a "backgrounder", or a "scene-setter". it looks like she has a slight halo around her...but still, I "get" the idea underlying this. I gotta say though, that gigantic watermark...ehhh...it's VERY distracting on a photo like this. The watermark ITSELF is significantly larger than the girl's face, and wide than her entire body. I mean...the watermark is about as large in area as the openly-shown (not covered by grasses) portion of the girl's body.
