Drop the aperture and increase the shutter speed. I'm surprised it's actually not more blurred than it is (it's pretty damn sharp overall) but her hair is blurry in places, presumably because it's blowing in the wind. Also check your white balance, on my monitor it looks like she has a yellow color cast.

Compositionally it could be better, although you did do a good job at making sure there were no distractions in the frame. You could have done any number of things to improve the composition - move her off to the left of the frame, shoot down from a different angle, get in closer get just a headshot, etc.

Default Still good

I Think its still usable, I would just crop in more to get rid of the bright white light on the left of the picture. Other than that I like the pose and the background. Good job!
