Opened this up and looked at the pic, and first thought was: "Is this from that guy from Belgium?" You haven't posted that many and I'm already recognizing your style. Like the last one, just love this. Colors pop, eyes pop, pretty young girl. Great job!

Howdy

What follows is written in a truly friendly tone of voice and with the sole intent to help you with another POV (and a different opinion).

As I always say, if this image pleases you as it is shown, and if this is exactly what you want, then enjoy it and continue making photos that please you (I do).
___________

She is a cute kid and she has a nice smile and the following comments have nothing to do with her, but are focused on the entire image.
____________

In another topic on this forum, the question was asked "When do you know when to use B&W?"

In this image, I would convert to B&W.

Reason?

Because the brilliant color of the background takes my eye away from the girl and leaves her looking relatively "colorless."

Put another way, I would prefer to see her against a different color background, where her skin tone and hair color would not be overwhelmed by the background color (as shown here).

I hope this comment helps you.

It was my intention to use the beautiful color of the background but your comment is very useful to me, as I Will be more willing to break out of my usual style ( however I do some b&w conversions too!)

This is a beautiful imagine and beautifully processed. May I ask what focal length and aperture was this shot at?

To me, the face is too hot and lacks tonality or sculpting with light. The highlights in the hair are blown out, and the background is over-saturated.
