I quite like this although I have to note the fact that it seems to be not quite in focus and that is a killer.
She is beautful, the light is well used and the exposure is correct. I might have prefered a bit more richness of tone in the shade areas, but I like the dark end of the tonal curve, to bring weight and mood. The lipstick colour is a bit out of place in this shot some how. I am sure as she went about her day it was lovely on her but photographed as you have, it does not sit right. It makes her lips almost the only part of the picture my eyes want to look at, and that is not becasue her lips are gorgeuos, which they are, but because the colour is somehow out of gammut with the rest of the shot. However, the focus thing makes it unusable to my thinking. So very near but not sharp, sorry.
