A terrific shot, Freddy. Very nicely done! My only comment would be that the subject could use a little warming. The light seems a little too bluish for the warm background. Perhaps the white balance set for a cloudy day would give her sufficient warming, unless you want to mess with setting the color temperature, manually, or use colored gels on the flashes. That's one of the problems when you only have minutes in which to work because of the setting sun; it's hard to think of everything.

Something that really bothers me about this shot is that the sky is still blown out - even though you are compensating the shadows with flash. Part of the reason you might want to use flash is so that you can expose for the background as well. Might have wanted to use a faster shutter speed.

i think he's going for the blown out sky. great job i like it.
