Anything specific you want critiqued?

The dress is a little blown out. I wish you could see all of her face too. I just want to lift her hand away.

I agree. I would have had her suck it up and squint for a quick second rather than have the hand cover her face. I would definitely try this shot again, the framing and background is great.

Default what if the dress was less exposed and the shadow under her hand was less harsh?

you could do a lot better with the original image but here is a real quick example of what it might look like with the corrections the others suggested...purely for a visual example...

all i did was stamp the surrounding parts of the face around the shadow to create a real skin tone flow to make the harsh shadow lift off. and selected her dress and went to brightness/contrast and slid the contrast backwards to recover some of the over exposed white....
