Nice shot though the out of focus foreground twigs are a bit distracting and the background is a wee bit busy.

I'd watch the skin color. Her face is on the yellow side while her hand and arm are on the magenta. Probably wasn't as much light on the left side so it has a cooler white balance. A simple white balance correction on that side should help even the color out.

Thanks, I've noticed the hand afterwards. Didn't think on selective white balance adjustment. I'll try that

After a quick gradient filter in Lightroom, I managed to balance the facial area and the hand to be very close. Thanks for the advice

Let's see it. :)

Will be up later today.

Here's the edit

Great job matching 'em.

I am not a professional so here's my take on it, maybe a bit tighter crop on the face would eliminate the "busy" back ground, otherwise a beautiful job.
