Hi Daniel, looks like a nice portrait of a young lady in nature! I think a tighter headshot of her would work better, maybe crop it (see attached photo). The arms and hands create a pose that distract my eyes from her face. Especially the right angle of her left elbow and the tight right hand holding the loose left hand doesn't work.
A 50mm lens on a Canon crop camera is cropping the field of view to 80mm but the distortion of it stays the same just a little bit cropped so the key is to keep the camera leveled to avoid distortion of the body. It looks like her legs seem to distort a bit. As your image title says, you were after a tunnel of trees in the background as a framing element to your fg subject, for that I would recommend using a wide angle lens, which will capture more of the environment than compress the image perspective like a telephoto lens does. I like how her head is slightly tilted to her left upper shoulder, which emphasizes her feminine character and I like how her hair falls behind the left shoulder and in front of her right lower shoulder. Expression on her face is also very sweet!
