Chohole- I'm with CrazyDawg on this. Typically one holds such an item with the thumb and forefinger, the others tend to curl more under as not used. Try this with your own hand and mimic what you see. I would also turn her back to part way between the first image and the last. Bring the flower up or her gaze down so she has that wonderful lost in thought look at the flower. I would add more trees in the background for sure and DOF it slightly. Add some leafless trees shrunken and sunk into the grounfd for bushes as well. Maybe some brown grass objects or a rock to bring up the visual complexity of nature. Lighting - mid strength directional sun -suggest downward from right (soft shadows) add a parallel up spot below her to simulate the bounce from the snow (ever so slightly blue and soft shadows, less than 1/3 the sun strength). Her hat seems to not be casting shadows. Didn't mean to get into this so deeply but I think that this has great potential IMHO, looking forward to where you go with it. Richard
