First of all I think this is a great shot in quality and model. It really seem to fit together and even the watermark doesn't disturb the image's balance. However, as you most likely would like to have a more detailed feedback as a critique, I would like to explain my ratings in details now.

Beginning with vision you didn't tell us much beside that we see a girl with a bow. However this alone is already kind of controversy, not much today, but much more in the past, where her appearance, mostly her dress would lead me. Another indicator for this would be that grayscale of the picture. We also see how near/tight she is holding the bow and how much she seems to value her bow. So, I think for settings these contrast-rich points like this together, you deserve 4/5 stars for vision.

For originality I think this has great uniqueness as I don't see photos like this often and I really think the perspective, holding of the bow, facial expression and composition is really original. So in short: 5/5 stars for originality.

Another great point would be technique! I really like the effect in the background and how you managed to obtain the visual sharpness of her and her bow. It's also very nice how you let the bow divide the picture diagonally and her arms and viewing-direction are shaping a cross... it's kind of relaxing for the viewer's eyes to have a lead... Another think I think is really good is the light. It's often hard to find right light-settings outside.
So, here also 5/5 stars for technique!

A point that is even more subjective than the others would be impact. So, I think this is a really nice photo, but not something that captures my view or what I want to remember to look again later... Maybe one could say, it isn't exciting enough for a great impact.
So, for impact just 3.5/5 stars.

So, concluding I think it is a really nice shot and shows great talents and abilities of the artist, but it could use a bit more reasoning behind it and a bit more tension.
