Just a few strands of hair at the back aren't colored. Besides that nitpickyness, great shot.

Good placement of your subject in relation to the bg - nice bokeh effect. Nice job of doing the selective desat on a tricky item (hair!). :) Good luck in the challenge.

BTW - Commenting only, not voting.

I'm not a huge fan of this pose.

I think I understand what you were going for here, but I would recommend one of two things. Either have her eyes open, with an intense stare at the camera, or make it seem that she's feeling the wind on her face with a fan or something. Just a couple thoughts.

some of the hair was desaturated. Also, increase saturation a touch and contrast maybe to make it pop a little more.

This could have used a little more attention in editing. There are significant chunks of hair which are desaturated that draw the eye.

There doesn't seem to be any purpose to the selective desat. here, it comes off a but gimmicky. Still, her hair is a great colour.
