Hello,

Your setting had lots of visual interest by its somewhat neglected appearance -- peeling paint, slightly overgrown climbing plants, dried out plants in the right foreground, etc.  All of those things surrounded your human subject, and for that reason I would have liked her looking in any direction except at the wall to her right; I wanted her looking at what I was seeing.  There's lots of interesting details throughout the photo.  A tiny, tiny detail I would have wanted eliminated was the object in the background and just peeking from behind her waist (BBQ grill?).   

Bare feet is perfect for this shot, and her posture conveys being stopped short and taking time to absorb the scene.

Look forward to seeing more of your photos.  ~ Richard
