The building is right behind her partly obscured by trees so it's pretty
distracting, plus the horizon runs through her head so it's even more
busy looking. I thought you could examine the final shots with a
magnifier but I guess not. I would suggest keep trying for another shot
:-) Getting down to her level when the horizon is visible (through the
trees) caused that horizon through the face but not if there's shrubs in
the background or a hill or I don't know, maybe get even lower & have
her head above the horizon.
