Good shot, good location, great pose, great framing. I love that you captured the water on either side of her splashing up from the fountain; it looks really great.
I realize the 'green haze' effect is sort of your signature gimmick, but you might consider toning it down a little in shots like this... It's not that easy being green. I'm guessing you upped your contrast and desaturated it, then played with the levels... Am I right?Be careful when doing the contrast->desaturation trick. Yes, it looks bomb and you do a good job of it in most of your shots, but adjust accordingly based on the lighting and pre--existing grain. Contrast brings grain out a lot.
Be careful of your lighting in situations like this. There's a lot of shadow being cast on her forehead which makes her skin look really pretty messy.
Be sure to not only adjust and tweak in photoshop, but also clean things up. You'd be wise to get some practice cleaning skin up. Try a noise-removing filter for starters. You've got some grain going on in the shadow as a result of exposure problems. Always watch your exposure... Victoria is too dark and Poseidon back there is a little overexposed; play around with ISO and contrast settings on your camera.
Anyways, I know that was a bunch of pointless photography advice for way too many paragraphs. Still, this is a great shot; your framing is excellent. Just be careful of your post-pro... It's easy to mess with levels and contrast of landscapes and objects and that will pretty much ALWAYS come out good, but when working with a model, be careful. Skin is finicky in PS.
But you should definitely do more model work; it's great practice.

'Round and 'round our busy feet go
Hurry and fury and apple-red glow.

The laughing and shouting will never be through!
BUT...
After all that running, the rest is best,
And the best to rest with is you.
