In the center of the frame, chest-deep, is a girl with fair skin — she is wearing a dark blue/black sweatshirt with a small white inscription on the chest, and a thin chain around her neck. The pose is calm, the body is slightly turned to the right, the head looks straight at the viewer, and the face is in the upper body.

Middle ground: around the model there are wild plants and flowers, some of the stems are sharp, some are in a soft blur.
Background/sky: a large turquoise-blue open sky, with large white cumulus clouds in the above.
There are a lot of small orange particles/leaves in the air above and around the model, as if they were picked up by the wind, they are at different distances and partially blurred (motion blur + shallow DOF), creating the effect of “floating particles”.
