I think the color is fine...the lighting however is a little bit harsh. Taken at this time of day in open sunlight, you could benefit from some type of diffusion, even if it's a regular umbrella. If you can, the best thing is to find open shade. For composition, you must think of your printing...give yourself room for various crops, if this is to be printed at 8x10, you'd probably end up cropping the top of her head more and possibly some or all of the hand that is showing or the other side...just things to keep in mind when composing.
