Well...I have visited this image several times a day, and there's one thing I like to say about it.

It is a well composed image, it is a great moment, but...since it has been captured in the shade, there's a blue cast in the whole image.

Sometimes, the photographers prefers a cool tone, others prefer a warm tone. In this case a cold tone seems to be appropriate, but not that much.

Nowadays, a custom white balance is important, and especially in this image where the white is expected to be white.

Anyhow, I just applied levels to this image, fade levels at around 70% to left some of the cold tone show in the picture, and the image, improved significantly, specially her skin tones, the color of the flowers, even the green in the background looks better.

The quiet moment, just perfect, colors need a little adjustment ...in my opinion of course.
