I've been thinking about you

The striking thing about this image is the colouring. The late afternoon sun, the wheat (?) fields, the blonde hair, and the pastel rainbow colours in the bubbles all come together really well, and complement the feeling of openess and air.

Compositionally though, it doesn't quite come together for me. The model is pretty square centre, and there is a drifting back to the left, but that leaves all that space on the right just empty. Maybe cropping it a bit? Alternatively changing the angle, a bit to the right might help.

Running the dark 'horizon' (tree/ field) line through her head is a bit off-putting too. A higher angle might have dealt with that? I don't think you wanted to go low for this image.

I find the snappy focus on the wheat-heads behind her, to the left distracting. The focus should end with her head, and come forward to the bubbles, rather than backwards from her face, as it seems now. This can be hard to control with the autofocus, but with a model session, can be done. The control over DoF is one of the great strengths of a 50mm lens, which it seems you were using? You can also blur areas in post-processing, which is quite acceptable in this style of image.

Lastly, for me the vignette is a little harsh, and too circular for a rectangular image. It does give a nice warm, closed feeling, but a little gentler on the gradient might work better.

Overall, a really nice dreamy mood captured though!
