Great job as always. Quick question though... why do you overpower the natural lighting by so much? Since you are shooting outdoors I feel like it would be more beneficial for the composition to keep the ambient lighting to show the whole scene and not just the model. I guess its a matter of preference but seeing a bit more of the green field and blue skies would add to this image IMO.
See I'm the total opposite. I've no interest in seeing the background, other then it being vaguely visible to set the scene or give a bit of context to some shots. I almost always underexpose or blur out the background and have the shot focused on the subject. You're right about it being personal preference, and I know some people prefer more ambient in their shots. That just never really appealed to me.
Gotcha, to each its own I guess :) It's your shot so take it as you please... And post more of them :)
