A very nice photo posted here but I do wonder if it's a good entry for the competition? Your nice and classic composition gives us a good look at the scene. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Well done and good luck!

You surely captured the essence of this contest in your background foliage and Sylvia's translucent hues of green. Great focus and centering. You allow the viewer to see every detail of Sylvia and foliage. Your photographic skills are evident. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you in the contest.
