Stop to smell the flowers

Ok my first picture here... try to excuse the poor quality as im using a very very poor scanner right now... if I get the chance i wil post a higher quality version. Anyway the picture was taken in London outside Saint Pauls Catherdral and is of my freind ellie. It was just a nice moment so i thought that i should snap it. Any criticism is great, i just started doing this photography thing so i have lots to learn.

Perfect exposure, all the blown out highlights around her face (which remains detailed) give it a rather dreamy feel. I say you're off to a very good start.

I agree with Sebastian here that your off to a great start. i like this. Composition and framing is terrific and b&w works nicely here. Also caught a nice moment. Has all the elements of a great image. Good work
