Overall, it's a cute shot. The vehicle in the background is not ideal. I wonder if you could clone it out. She's a little too warm, especially her legs. That may be due to the red brick. I think I would like to see her face brightened up a little. I think she looks comfortable and has a nice smile.

She still looks a bit sunburned on her legs, but looks really wonderful!
From a technique point of view, mind if I ask a question? If she stepped back just a couple of inches, would the sun have created a nice highlight on her hair, or would the low sun in this case just have messed things up? This isn't a suggestion, but more of a question of using natural light, and avoiding it when it doesn't help. You clearly had her in the shadow of the columns, and I don't think that was an accident.
Thanks....Yes she actually just came back from the Cape for 2 days of sunning.
You are correct, I intentionally had her stand in the shadows because the sun was so harsh. I do have some with her a bit farther back and the light on her light hair color blows out really bad. The direct light yesterday was really not an option unfortunately.

Better. You'd never know there was a red vehicle in the background! You controlled the highlights in the background pretty well, for what seems like a less than ideal lighting situation.
