Vision: I really like the idea here! A nice warm day, a girl running through a field and the ballons : very nice!
but should is seem like she is flying away? because she is holding one balloon...
Originality: Like I said before, the idea is really nice, nothing veeeery special I have never seen before but nice^^
Technique: I think for your first manip this is really good! The girl is cut out very well and it almost seems like she was really there. What distracts a bit is that everything is really sharp and colourfull. The viewers eye can not rest on an object. I guess the main focus should be the girl but the grass and the flowers distract a bit. Maybe a blurred background would fit better altough it is really hard to blur it in photoshop
another thing I don't like is that two balloons are cut of but that would be easy to change.
For the next manip I sugges to focus on the main subject, so it really stands out
Impact: What should I say? Very colourful, happy, nice
Now, for some of the other technical aspects. First of all, the white dress that the female is wearing should be translucent; you should be able to see the background vaguely through the fabric. Using a software like PhotoShop can help you make this effect.
Also, there seems to be a lot of red in the grass...did you add the poppies onto the grass, or were they already part of the stock you used for the background? If you did add them in, my suggestion is that less is more. It does add vibrant colour to the piece, but I think that it detracts from the focus of the image; which is the female. One suggestion is to only have the poppies in the foreground, or bottom half of the image, below the female. This will help the viewer focus more on the female & less on the background.
As I said before, this is very good for a first attempt. I would suggest that more practice would help to refine those things that need touching up; and don't be disheartened, because it will improve.
