Congratulations to the winners!
Nice pose and I like the sparkle from the catchlights in her eyes. The lighting somehow gave you a nice warm (yellow) glow to her face, but cooler (blue) tone to her arm/shoulder and hand. The hand is in the shade which explains that, but the shoulder is in the sun. Her blond hair especially makes her shoulder look cold.
I'm not familiar with your editing software, but if you can make a selective adjustment to just the arm and hand, and warm those areas to appear more uniform with the color in her face, I feel like that would improve your photo. I also feel like it's slightly overexposed.
