face way too blown out, along with most of her skin. not enough contrast for the image to "pop" ^

Are you on a calibrated monitor? There's nothing blown there.

Trying outdoor informal portraits without a flash or reflector is difficult. In this shot, she seems to be squinting a little, and the background is getting all the best light. If your model was better illuminated, we could overlook the brightness of the background. The little bit of brightness from the sun hitting only the top of her head gives uneven lighting on her face.

I think the pose is unnatural and awkward. She is in an uncomfortable position for no apparent reason, and her hands are in the shot but do not add to the composition. Yesterday's post was much better.

Thanks...I'm buying a reflector/stand kit this week!

Is it just me or does the lady in the photo look a lot like Jenny Garth (actress)?
