Nice location & lighting but hands look wrong for some reason not sure why

Not worried by the position of the model (nor the hands). I quite like the mood here, although I think you should try some ageing of the shot, even while keeping it in colour.

A very nice picture. I like the limited colors: green and brown tones. I, also, like the composition of this shot. The roof line and the feathers on her hat form a nice semi circle; the hat, left arm and hands and railing form a second semi-circle creating an "S" shape. The railing and the vegetation lines form nice parallel diagonals. It looks like a well planned and executed picture. Regards, Wolf.

 

P.S. I suspect what Michael is talking about is the fact that the hands are closest to the camera and appear large in proportion to the rest of the model's body.

Lovely image well set up, reminescent of a Monet painting. Excellent composition Michael. Well worth all your effort.

works very well for me with a small exception of the upper left (easiest solution seems to be cloning some more oof greenery there). Regards,
