firstly, i think the pose and low camera angle in this piece are really fun. they are playful and have a lot of energy! the secondary motion in her skirt and purse follow through with her leap and accentuation the motion.

there are a few thing that would make this piece stronger. the first being to control the intensity of your shadows. some shadows are really dark, while others are very light, and then there are other areas that should be shaded that have none at all. the more intense the light, the darker the shadow will be.

consolidate the light source and block it in before adding details. it might help if you choose a direction that if friendly to the chosen pose (as in not shading the face)

also keep in mind that dark, warm things generally come forward, while light, cool things will recede. lightening the tree and adding the color of the sky with push it above her, while darkening her left foot while lightening her right leg will make it look more dimensional. the same for the rest of the environment.

lastly, keep in mind the pattern of value and temperature. she gets lost in the light sky with her white outfit - cooling the sky would make her pop out from it, and the same with her brown purse, darkening it and lightening/ cooling the tree would have the same effect.

other than that it's looking good! keep it up ^^
