Lovely pose and outdoor location.  My preference would be to be able to see the top of her hair/head where it is lost in the dark background of the scene.  Perhaps a slight repositioning from your camera location or, as you have in another photo of her, an arm extended and bent to define the separation of the dark background and her dark hair.  Just a thought. The exposure and tone of her skin is excellent BTW!

I love the depth of field and the focus on the model with a feeling. Good work. Thank you for sharing.

She is absolutely involved, conscious and at the same time ignoring the camera, a great stuff, difficult to achieve, I should say. Tonal range, low saturation and contrast are a must, but the key fact in this composition is the magnificent dof and accurate framing. I should learn to do photographs like this. Chapeau Igor, for you and for your gorgeous model.

Basically, I agree with all of the comments made here. I think it is a great photo. There is a perfect use of the depth of field with both the subject and a few of the flowers coming across with great precision. It is an interesting effect that you have reduced the colour saturation - it gives it almost an "old photo" kind of effect, reminding me of the photos of my childhood. The only small complaint I might have is, as above, the hair kind of disappears in the background - and I wonder if this would be better with a higher level of colour saturation - so that one of the photo's strengths is also one of its weaknesses?

Excellent work - great fusion of the subject and the location.
