I made 10 versions before it looked like this, and I wasted an entire day 
But I learned tones of useful tips from him, and I will definitely use them in my next manipulations

One common criticism that I've seen with this photo is certainly the blur. Although it's not so obvious at a distance, it really does show when fully zoomed. I want to argue that it's not severe, just exsessive. It's a very good touch and does add to the over all atmosphere and focuses myself on the main subject, but perhaps the level of this blur could be toned down next time.
Another slight ctiricism, one which might cause a little arguement, are the butterflies. I'm not saying that they ruin the photo, because that's not true. They don't seem to be in the right places to me and they're too sharp when compared to the background, even though they may seem to be in the forground. Other than that they really do add that feeling of beauty to both the Autumn scene and the model. Excellent stuff.
Now, onto the good stuff. Firstly, the photo is ever so vibrant. The level of colour saturation is well balanced throughout, neither too strong nor too dull. It's suited well for the scene and the model. And speaking of the model, she's a real beauty. Skin tones are wonderful, expressions are perfect and body language is top notch.
Secondly, the setting is perfect. Trees are everythere and, though I can see that they have been mirrored, they are perfect to showcase any Autumn setting in a photo. Kudos to you once again.
Really, this is an amazing photo and criticisms I've addressed are extremily minor and most people and fans of your photography shouldn't notice these because your photos are still wonderful to look at. I am very glad to have given a critique on this photo. It's been a pleasure. Good luck with your future photography.
For one, the blending / blurring is a little severe. I find the blurring to be a bit too much in the background, making the figure stick out a little awkwardly. Perhaps some smoothing out of the bottom of the gown, as well as some more work with the sharpness level of the background stock, would help. However, it is a brilliant way to use the chosen stock for the background, and vision-wise, it's very beautiful.
A couple of the butterflies also look a tad "sticker-ish", like they're not blended entirely into the picture itself--particularly the maroon one on the left, and the mauve one over the girl's head.
Otherwise, fantastic work. I REALLY love this piece!
