Bit of anatomy critique: Her arms go too far down; they'd probably be right up under her chest if her grip on her arms is like that, or if they're lower like that her hands would be on the bottoms of her forearms or some such.

I wish I could be more useful with backgrounds, but I avoid them, myself. I can say that it seems a little off the way some parts of this picture are in sharp focus, like the cracks, and her face and arms, and the foreground plants and tree trunks, and then other parts, like the bottom of her dress, the leaves, and the background, are soft focus and poofy. I do like the contrast of focuses, but it would be less confusing if closer things were all sharp and the background was all soft as it is, with perhaps just a touch of softness in her dress and maybe a little bit in the trees, which is almost what is going on already.
I also think the wall could have some darker, sharper shadows, especially the cracked parts that aren't in direct light.

That's enough of that, now....
I love the emotion of this, how even though it's a perfect day, the girl emanates lonely sadness. Her location is also quite intriguing. I love the details. Especially the floor, I love the cracks.
