This is lovely, Tom.

As a current student of "how to" in compositions, I see a lot to admire (hope I'm on track with these observations!):
the compositional device of those trees in the background - they make my eyes jump from foreground to background - they have a nice "pull" factor. Keeps the eyes moving around the picture. Also, the "s" negative shape of the light area in the background, fitting so nicely with that same shape in the girl's body. And the ivy off to the right adds a nice balance.

The painting, as always, absolutely gorgeous. Closeups?
