This was great for welcoming spring!
The vision is quite well executed, using only a few elements provides an excellent focus on the central figure. The choice of stock used complements your vision well, from my perspective! Therefore, vision is a five star rating.
The green lady of spring is a concept I have seen, and used before; while your execution of it does not mimic anything I have ever seen before, I would recognize the aspect of the season as exactly that - which also speaks to a well-executed concept, entirely original or not! Overall, I gave originality just a shave off 5 stars.
There are a few things I can see that feel just a little off in this piece, mostly with perspective. The background seems to fade into nothingness, without providing a clear horizon is seems that the water just pours on forever. In some things I could see this being a good thing, but to me it makes this piece feel ungrounded. Perhaps creating a small shaded area where the horizon could be would help define the background and ground the foreground?
Her hat seems to point in a separate direction than the rest of the composition, but that is perhaps a lighting trick more than the actual object? From here it seems that the point is coming from the side of her head. Shading more like a cylinder may help that. Alternately, creating a second "horn" on the backside of the head would balance the hat, making it a horned hat.
The only other thing I am not entirely sure of is the darker shapes along the lower right edge. The grass in the very forward foreground is so clear, and the shapes behind it so vague, I am not sure if this was supposed to be land, leaves, or shadows. How that is changed would depend on your intent.
Given these small technical aspects I shaved a little off the rating for Technique as well.
The impact, overall, is amazing
Thank you for sharing!

I love the greens you've used here, it just makes the entire piece feel so soothing!
Her hair twined around the vine is just brilliant, I can only say that I wish her hair was a little bit more defined and there was more of it in this! I love the greenery crown you've given her and the lilypads, I cannot see anything wrong with them at all, but the lower right side of the lake looks a little off to me... no biggie though...it does not detract from this at all... the red butterfly... is a wonderful dreamy addition to an already amazing work!
I swear everytime I see your work... I cannot do more than stare and be inspired.
