Richard,
I like the way the flowers and the subject's head are tilted at a similar angle. The colors purples, blues and the blonde hair blend well together. A provocative pose and expression that is in good focus. This is a well composed photo.
It would probably have been better if you had blotted out or blurred the fence at her left shoulder. It looks like the lighting is coming from the right front. Maybe you could have positioned the subject so the lighting shone a little more to her right side.
