Re Monte's comment... not "just". Even the most beautiful woman (or person for that matter) can be badly photographed. The thing that makes many of Fred's shots exceptional is the subtlety with which he can use light, and we see it again here. The shadowing of the door and branches above (not a mere vignette, because it's deliberately asymmetrical) allows the model to be almost spotlit, but not in a harsh or obvious way. It draws the eye into her, but does it gently. The inclusion of some lighting on the flowers above walks a fine line; it doesn't distract from her, but rather stops the shot from looking too artificial by creating a believable path for the light to come down from above to illuminate her. Even the choice of dress works well; the tone is similar enough to the background for her to feel like she is part of it, but different enough to allow her to stand out from it... but again, subtly. This is another great piece of work.

Wow, I really like this one and just because she is a beautiful woman.
