It is, as many have said, breathtaking. Story-telling. There are many words to describe a masterpeace, but in the end, they all mean the same thing. One caveat, though..

I would call this a masterpeace, but.... with all it's strenght, I don't like it. I even feel irritated that you did it the way you did.
There's this compositional flaw - the girl's head is in line with the rock, which results in low contrast between the main subject and the almost as important surroundings. Bad choice, which might not have been as noticeable through the viewfinder.

The second thing is the angle of view. It's somehow... akward. I understand that it's probably how you saw the picture. I'd have loved it from the girls' perspective, maybe even lower - from an imaginary girls' point of view, looking at the subject as though she is a grownup. I'd have loved the subject facing the light with all the movement surrounding her. That shot would've been worth a book written. Art creating art. I'd be tempted to write a book.

Still, I understand that it probably would've been a completely different shot than the one you saw. I guess it's just my own idea, my own imagination. Thus - I congratulate you, and wish best of luck in the future. The shot is still breathtaking. Printed big, it would be imposible not to stare at for hours, dwelling in ones own thoughts. I'd be writting a book.
