I'm thinking I may need to disqualify this post......there is no nature or natural basis to this. I got carried away with the Asian thing........sorry!

Jay, With our new flexible rules this image is allowed. I like it. The vibrant colors and the softened look work well together. I think it's perfect for the theme.:)
Beautiful image Jay. The colors and composition are wonderful. I think the HAP will be pleased. :p:) Seriously, the pose is very flattering.
My first thought was, oh no. there are not nature items in this beautiful image. But then apparently there are flexible rules, so I'm glad for that. Great portrait. Good eye contact.
Hi Jay, no problem with the content and the image is very nicely done! I really appreciate the color palette and simplified artistic look. Well done!

I'm glad the OOTB rules have become more flexible....it's nice to see great work like this, even if it isn't nature based! :)
Very well done Jay, agree with all the previous comments.
This is a striking image, one I'm immediately drawn to. I like her expression and pose, and the pp you did. Great colors. Well done!!
