Was this originally shot in-camera in JPEG or RAW (if so what camera)?
What image editing software do you have available to you?

Overexposed. You could have increased the f-stop number or increased the shudder speed. Also moved in closer to get more girl and less background. I didn't take time to fix color since I'm on the laptop this late at night.
Attached is a quick example.

Defiantly over exposed and too much imbalance with background.

Chroma needs to come down an bit and personally it looks like there may be a bit much on the magenta.
Boke is good but I would check if the program can switch out some of the other color variations.
Pose is nice and the color though saturated by the over exposure can be brought into a good form.

It looks over exposed to me, and the color looks oversaturated. Perhaps you can edit the photo and make it look better

It’s a perfectly acceptable photo of this person.
A bit of cropping into a square format might tidy up the surroundings a bit.
it really depends on what your purpose is.
A quick shot of a lovely lady and you’ve got it.
You won’t win any prizes but I think the lady will be pleased.

Try bracketing another time, it’s old school but it does still have a place in the digital world.
Bracketing, 1 stop or more under exposed 1 shot at recommended exposure and 1 stop over exposed. Some cameras will do this for you I am a fossil and still do it manually
