Looks great. Only suggestion, and this is very minor: I'd add a little blurring to the back of the legs.

What part of her legs do you mean by saying back of her legs? :)

I actually don't understand why the calf of the one leg and the bottom of the arm and hand are highlighted that strong. This can't be just from bounced light. There would have to be a light source. Why not get rid of that highlight and tone it down to just some bounced light?

I think the saturation on the biggest canada leafs in the front may then become a bit too strong, making the green-red contrast quite dominant. So to keep the overall composition in balance, teh red would have to be desaturated a bit as well, I think.

The composition does work as it is so I'm not sure it would be actually better, prolly just different.

I really dig the story of this piece and it's quite well brought as well as it is.

This is beautiful, and it really tells a story.
The only thing for improvement I can think of (beside the blurring on the back of the legs) is that the leaves look very flat. Not dimension-wise, they're very well rendered.. I just think maybe you could add one or two that are laying flat on the grass, nstead of propped up and facing the viewer. And perhaps some hints of the red at the top of the composition (not much at all) to balance it out.
All in all, this is very haunting, and has to be one of my faves that you've done yet!

I take the red suggestion back. It would do that opposite of improve it, sorry. Got carried away. :)
