Hi Maria, Meg looks as lovely as ever , but I find the background far too bright and distracting.

I like the background - of course in Canada we look at lovely ladies in the snow, and that's what this reminds me of - the Ice Princess.

A beautiful portrait, no doubt. You might want to apply a vignette, this will bring a little needed contrast and direct viewer towards this girls sweet face

It's all subjective. Personally...I love it. Great portrait.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

Echo the high key comments. Great skill here in losing shadow and emphasising eyes/mouth. Beautiful/ethereal photograph. Cool.
