Is she lost or hiding? Looks like a cottage on the left and other buildings to the right.

Her face looks so wistful. Something about what he did with her eyebrows.

It's beautifully executed. While I like the contrast between the girl and the forest, I wonder about the choice to make her dress "shape-weld" into the tree, not just value but hue as well. It makes it harder to read her form, but again her expression does stand out that way.
