Nice comp and wonderful tones in this one. Her head turn is a big plus. The detail shows in the larger version. Good job.

Very nice image, Howard! I like the comp and colors.

When I clicked on your youtube link, I got a couple of seconds of music, then my computer went crazy, then shutdown and restarted. I'm wondering if this happened to others or if it's just my computer.

Sure is a fine image. I like many things about it. The colors are nice and I like how she blends in with it. Very sharp. Like the composition with the leaves above. Details and shades on her back are exquisite.

Really nice, excellent quality image. Don't know if I'd change anything at all. If I did, I might try and crop a little to get her a little bigger in the frame. I also would see how cutting just a little off the top looks. Looks like a 3:2 ratio, I'd see what a 5:4 looks like.
