I think the key here is in the shutter speed: the shot is intended to be blurred, if I am not mistaken. I suspect there is some serious PS-ing going on, too, as well as off-camera flash, looking at the bright areas on the ground. I'd like to know how much manipulation you did...
Possibly a little too busy and complex a set-up? Certainly, the flash has blown the tones in the parasol.
A higher viewpoint, to put Lucy against the lavender, and remove the sky entirely from the shot. It's bright and distracting in the background. My mod clones trees across it, and crops a bit, to get lucy onto the left thirds, and away from the middle of the shot.
A lovely model, and a great location!

Hi to you all. Many thanks for you Comments on this shot.
In fact the shot was a burst of the flash to see if the slave unit as Dudler said on the ground fired and checking the ratios etc. It was a hand held shot.
However the "to Bee or not to Bee2 title refers to the bee that has flown into the shot directly under Lucy's hands, and gave her somewhat of a shock.
But looking at this shot time and time again a very odd looking pic, that I think would be difficult to recreate.
Many thanks again for your comments and Dudler I follow you work there all great shots.
