Light comes from above, so I suppose that the girl's shadow should be less darker, and maybe not above her head! Just a suggestion and my opinion. Good luck author!
I appreciate the suggestions/tips. Thank you.
The girl is too desaturated for the background, and the drop shadow behind her really makes her look artificially inserted into the image. It does not blend well as a cohesive composition.
I was trying to match the shadowing to the level of harshness on the rocks, but I see your point and thank you for the critique.
Howdie stranger!
