Taken with a camera and a lens.

Did you have to buy them separately?  Seems most everything is sold in a kit these days.

That's a pretty cool use of negative space, Bernard.  I like the tree shadow as a unifying element.  Well done.  You might want to try to burn the sky, such that it melds perfectly with the grey level of the tree shadow on the wall.  I think that would strengthen its unifying property.

I guess that gray area must be blue sky. At first glance, I did not realize it was part of the image. Not sure about this area, perhaps it looks great in colour. Nevertheless, I like image and it does evoke freshness and spring- it's in her walk.
