 This looks like a very well thought out, well executed photo. Very nice framing and flow.
 Is she really sitting right there or did you put her there digitally? I love the length on the cloth. I don't know if this is supposed to be symbolic of anything, but I feel a great since of beauty of solitude from it,

 Very well done !!! ^^
-- Vivre et laisser vivre  Good color, and very creative!
However, the subject is too centered. The sense of longing that you're trying to bring in (guessing by the title) is lost because of this. Crop the image so that she is more to the right of the shot and a bit lower, and her gaze will drift farther, more longingly. Other than that, BEAUTIFUL WORK! -- MandaPanda Hats!

The planning, preparation, creativity and artistry in this photo are all wonderful!  A delicate streak of vivid red against a dull, hard rock. Quite a nice idea

Critiques
The photo is very rich in color, with the blue water contrasting wonderfully against the red cloth and the green trees. There's a lot of beauty to look at in this photo and you don't easily get bored while looking at this piece.
There's only one very, very minor point of criticism for me to give, and that is that the red cloth seems a bit curled up half-way and IMHO it would look better if it had been spread out more evenly. Other than that, this truly deserves an A+!
The second thing I find attractive about this piece is the perspective. Rather than giving the viewer a single flat angle, the perspective shifts from above-angled at the foreground to a seeming level angle from mid-frame onward. This provides a sense of depth, of "being there", that is hard to achieve in a photograph.
My favorite part of this piece, though, (and I suspect it might be accidental but delightful just the same) is the way the scarlet cloth matches the flow and texture of the waterfalls in the lower left frame. It draws my eye and holds it more than any other part of the shot.
If I have any criticism of this photograph, it is with what I assume was meant to be the focus -- the model. She is beautiful, wonderfully posed and perfectly lit. However, several of the other elements of the piece (including that beautiful scarlet train) completely overwhelm her to the point that she ends up being (for me, at any rate) the least noticeable part of the shot. I find that somewhat unfortunate.
Overall, though, this is one of the most beautiful portrait pieces I have ever seen. Well done!
