Love this shot.. and your use of foreground to create depth... it feels like she's in her favorite spot out in the middle of nowhere, completely oblivious to you :)

A very special composition! Great color and perspective. Are these grapevines?

Location
I took this photo over 1 year ago in the burned forest in the village near to my city Cracow.Time
I suppose it was around "golden hour".Lighting
I used silver blende to brighten the girl.Equipment
Nikon D700 + Nikkor 50 f/1.4 + silver blendeInspiration
I was inspired by the track made by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan called "Girl From The North Country". Please listen, great song.Editing
I tried to make the colors more warm. I reduce the clarity on the borders to make viewer focus on the main subject.In my camera bag
Nikon D700, Nikkor 50 f/1.4, Nikkor 85 f/1.8, Nikkor 28 f/2.8, blende silver/whiteFeedback
Burn the forest, just joking. Wait for the wind, it adds climate. Try to shoot photo from a lower perspective to make viewer had the impression of taking part in the sceen. "Golden hour" is the best time for shooting.
