it's a cute pose and she's a pretty girl, but i personally don't like the way its lit. there are funny shadows on her nose and chin and then strange bright spots that draw your eye away from her face- the arm and then some very bright grass. her right cheek is way too bright and her hair suddenly changes color. in fact, i can't figure out where the light is coming from. did you lighten up parts of it on post maybe? would have been nice to get some light in her eyes.

I'm not really big on the processing, but I think this shot may have some potential. Can you show a SOOC?

This photo has great potential. If it were mine, I would kill the heavy vignette, and desaturate the yellows, and oranges a bit to get the detail back in her shirt.
She is squinting a little, but not bad. Full sun is tough to shoot in.
