Try converting this one to b&w. The harsh contrast between the regions might be more effective in the realm.

Oh yeah, one more thing:
You could have reduced the harsh shadows by using something as simple as a piece of white board (like the gator-foam boards you apply posters to for presentations) to bounce some sunlight onto the shaded side. You would hold the white board above her, tilted down so you'd see the additional light spilling across her face. The best part about such techniques for 'bounce' or 'fill' lighting is that the size of the board is quite large, and creates a VERY soft light. That would have made it easier for your camera to grab a proper exposure.

A nice pose.
Here's something important to know about digital photography: never overexpose. Those white areas on her forehead? They're gone. No amount of photoshop trickery will rescue detail in that area, as it's been 'clipped' when it was recorded to memory.
However, if you UNDERexpose your shots by a tiny bit, say 1/2 or 1 f-stop, then you CAN bring that slightly dark photo into any image editing software, and adjust the levels to return it to the proper brightness.
Hope this helps!

wow, such a beautiful shot. I am very impressed. I love the natural light, and the faux-nude. (well atleast thats what i think it is) Anyways, you could improve this shot by changing your exposure settings or aperture settings, do you see the blow out on the face? I think it would be nice to have highlights...but not blownout highlights. Well done none the less!

Benjamin, lovely shot. As mentioned, harsh light makes it difficult to capture the entire tonal range without blowing out the highlights. A few possibilities if you can' move your subject or change the prevailing light-
1. try diffusing the light using any neutral material (white sheet, netting, etc). 2. Use a reflector to fill in shadows and thus reduce the contrast range so you can capture the entire range.
Either way, this is a nice shot. Lou

Merry ha una espressione dolcissima e guarda in camera in modo intenso e comunicativo la posa è morbida e l'illuminazione fantastica..peccato per le alte luci un po bruciate ma un po donano all'immagine che trovo bellissima
complimenti 7

i agree with Akgun. the light is a little harsh and the warm light at sunset would make for a pleasing photo.The composition and girls natural expression are wonderful!My best,JOHN
