A warm summer day in a field of flowers. Relaxing, nice.
That is what I think when i look at your artwork here. The photographer knows how to set a model in the right scenery, and the editing is really good.
On first glance, you wouldn't know there was some Photoshop for the retouch involved.

The blurring out of the background in comparison to her sharp features, supported by that wonderful dress and that relaxed pose make nice contrasts. This also involves her makeup, her clear lips and eyebrows in comparison to her curly, red hair /wig, which on the one side is a big contrast but on the other hand very similar due to it's color. This makes a well rounded view. I really love these opposites which are very similar the same time.

The lightning on this picture works wonderful with the bright background, and makes her features even clearer. Everything seems to work perfectly together.

But there's something bothering me:
Her facial expression doesn't fit the picture at all. While the picture gives me a nice, warm feeling, a feeling of being relaxed even, her face says: "I'm really bored here.", "I don't want to be here" or even "I am a model. I cannot smile. I need to look like this."
It's just a lifeless expression on her face. That is something I would work on.

Also, the light on her skin seems kind of... orange? And the way the shadows fall show me that there SHOULD be a sunset when the picture is taken. The lighting is from the side, not from above. Yet, the flowers in the background seem like they were photographed when it was noon (the light seems to come from right above, very white).
... but maybe this is only my Laptop and the light is showing off strangely. I apologize if so!

Overall though, this picture is amazing, and you should keep your good work up!
