I would have prefered a tighter crop or a more muted background. Plant seems blown out.

Some will argue that full body is not a portrait but doesn't bother me. Cute pose.

Kind of a stretch but at least it isn't another literal branch. Nice the way her arms are sort of waving like the grass.

The border is quite distracting. A much thinner border might work. Also appears oversharpened.

would be great without the solar flare but since it is basic editing I guess you can't clone them out.

Which Branch to Follow...

Comment:
Neither looks very well travelled and looks like lots of indecision at branch point :-) I wonder if a little lower angle might not have brought more emphasis to the trails. also image looks a bit too bright to me.

You need to submit a larger photo so we can see the details. Impossible to judge photo at this size. If when you resize your photo to 640 the file size is larger than 150K which is challenge limit then adjust the jpeg quality down until you hit 150. You can do this in the save for web dialog in photoshop and I am sure other photo editors can do the same.
