Default Am I exposed?

It seems I tend to overexpose my images or darken too much in PP. I am trying to teach my eye proper exposure and I need to know if I am on the right track. This image was taken in the early morning with the sun behind my left shoulder and is straight out of the camera. I can fix any composition, blown out areas and crop later.

Please let me know if this is properly exposed

Your exposure looks OK (on my laptop) What you have here is mixed lighting that can always cause exposure problems, but all in all it's not bad for SOOC.

Thanks, I did bracket and the posted shot was the original setting.
