Casual Iggy- Those Days.

Wow. You mention liking the feeling of this picture. I am not sure what feeling you get from it, but I see a feeling of being lost (mentally/emotionally and physically) and sadness. The facial expression is of course where most of it comes from, but your use of depth of field with the grass defiantly adds to it. It gives the feeling of struggling to move onward through the vegetation. The three strands of grass in front of the face are almost a distraction, but you have done such a good job with placement and focus that they add to the feel of the picture. It would not be the same feel without them. Very well done.
