Diana's a lovely model and, of all the images in this set, this image best captures her beauty.
You've experimented with the saturation levels in the different photos. In this photo the colors are perfectly autumnal, neither too warm nor too wintery. The coloration of the background blends well with Diana's costume, make up, hair and, strikingly, her eyes. If I hadn't seen photos of Diana in summer, I might swear she was born to personify autumn.
One small criticism I would make is that if you're going to retouch the photo, her teeth could be ever so slightly whitened.
The composition is simple. Diana's gaze is strong enough that this could have made a good head shot. It also could have been longer, showing her full stance. As it is, it's long enough to show us her hair and a sense of the attitude in her pose.
The arms at her side would tend to signify powerlessness, yet there is a feeling of strength and endurance in the way she stands. She's aware of fragility, but not easily broken.
I imagine this a portrayal of a recently widowed woman, given the black clothing, the veil and the autumnal theme. In this moment she looks like she may be on the verge of overcoming her grief. She's a survivor, ready to go forward.
The contrast between the finery of the hat and the wildness of the hair is striking. Diana looks like a lioness. The flash of color in her eyes suggests this feeling comes from within, that her hair isn't dead so much as a continuous expression of her inner life. She's the soul of courage.
