TOO CUTE!!! You made a gorgeous portrait here, with a very captivating expression. I like the tree, and even wonder if a bit more of it would work. It fits with the lovely BG that echoes its color and soft focus. I wonder if it’s possible to tone down the bright meadow and still keep the surroundings as good as they are. And maybe reduce contrast on the leaves a bit?
