So, so close… Just some color correction and more attention paid to the flame, and the cover would never have shown up here…

The focus of the shot on the girl is fine, but the blurry bow in the foreground looks weird on a book cover. The flame draws further attention to it by not being similarly out of focus. I think a re-do, fixing the problems noted, should also do way with the blurring. This might even fix the fire to a degree.
Or get rid of the flame since no one in history ever fired a flaming arrow.
I would not say never, but flaming arrows are generally limited in effect and relatively useless unless you have the pyrotechnics available to movie special effects people.
Well, not in a real assault or battle.
Having the face in focus but the bow out of focus indicates a sufficiently shallow depth of field that the background foliage should be REALLY blurry. That it isn’t, adds to the sense of wrongness here :-/
