The lens is great but the photo is a little hard to read, IMO. There's too much sky and not enough woman, i.e., she's cut off at the knees and that doesn't work for me. If this is cropped, maybe go back and move the crop down to include more of her and less sky; if this is it, then perhaps a few steps back would have made a difference. Also, I'm picking up an artifact line at the tree line, or is that my monitor?

Nice attempt.
The subject of the photo's turned away, making it very impersonal.
Composition, as mentioned above, could be improved.
Exposure of the subject is unfavourable given the backlighting not balanced by fill - which would be near impossible at f/2.4 in full sunlight, but a solution would then be not to shoot the subject backlit...

I won't be as harsh as the previous two. The picture does tell me a story, she appears to be looking at something in the water. It would have been better to show her whole body (or have it as more head and shoulders).
Nice separation between subject and background but the background is a little boring.
Getting closer to the ground and shooting up at her would have made fill the frame more and make the background less dominant.
She is a little underexposed but it's acceptable IMO.

Thanks guys. I am still very new, but I am learning. I take all of your advice and criticism to heart.

I think its quite nice, could be improved but a nice shot with summer feel. Id correct the leaning horizon as that can be quite distracting

composition and story aside, i like the colours and the mild bokeh produced.

i agree with the others - nice example of what the lens can do, composition is not connecting with me
