Lovely. When I look at this photograph, I see consistency: the woman holds in her elements of her surroundings. The dress has the darkness of the barren shrub to the right. Her skin fades into the white sky above. Her eyes almost disappear in the white of her skin, but those eyes are sisters of the blue grass. Her hair is like the bare twigs and blades dry grass. And the emphasis of texture over the grass parts draws attention to the texture of the dress. Particularly since you were choosy about where to put the texture, and it sort of fades out around her, that draws all attention to her. I don't know how I feel about the blank white sky, or that her skin actually opens into it, but I can't think of a better way to accomplish your idea without making the photo too busy. The scene becomes surreal, and her face anticipating, aware. That's the tension, I think, and that's what holds my attention. Overall, well done. Keep at it!
