Maria

This is so classical, it's worthy of painting into oils & hung into a local museum as a fine example of Russian art! The contrast of the light blue against the dark earthy tones implants a unique impression in the eye of the beholder, but the unpressed texture in the crinoline gives it that Russian realism (as opposed to the European elegance). Altho the parasol is a bit out of place, the tiny book leaves the viewer wondering what the subject is reading to evoke a pose of soft joy in a moment of light burrowing thru the trees. I love your eye on this -- you found (created) a good one! Use this same technique on all your shots!
