An abandoned barn at sunset becomes the perfect frame

At the end of March a few years ago we spent a weekend in the Carrizo Plain in central California to witness the superbloom. We also planned several photo shoots with model Chantal. This is a portrait shot at an abandoned barn.

I processed a balanced, a paintery and a soft HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
