It's a lovely setting, and composition, and the model looks gorgeous .. but I'd prefer it without the heavy vignetting. As it stands, the figure looks almost as if she's been photoshopped into a separate image of woodland, and that makes it look like a slightly cliched rework of someone's stock.

Thank you very much for your critique! For me it is very valuable. Really :)
Yes, I agree with you completely, I always don't know when to stop when I adjust the image. Maybe this is the reason why I like my photo only for a few days and then I start to hate it... :) Thank you once more.
P.S.: I swear background is not a stock image! :)

Hi ... when you look closely, yes, it's clear that it's not a photoshopped composite, the problem is that it can give that impression. I also find it hard to know when to stop editing, the only guidelines I really have for myself are a) tell my inner perfectionist to shut up, b) when I've edited a lot, put the edited version as a layer over the original (assuming you've kept a copy of the original with the same crop) and try to be honest with yourself if you see the original actually looks better, and try fading the edited version in and out over the original, c) do what I call 'layer cake' and put the edit over the original in two layers, one colour, one luminosity; between them they give you all the information from the edit, but it's just easier to see where you have a genuine improvement and where you don't, and c) try to edit so it looks like it wasn't edited.
But mainly, you have a great eye, and I think you just need to trust what you got when you took the shot.
