Shooting into the sun

This shot is from my 5th photo shoot. I was not sure about shooting into the sun, but I think it worked well. I would love to know your opinion.

Shooting into the sun is usually not a problem. You have a nice shot going here, but I think a little fill flash would have helped a bit.

Here's an example of what I mean...

Fill flash is a good idea as Scott said, but a reflector can provide nice fill also in this situation. This shot used a single piece of foam core .....the kind kids use for school projects to bounce sunligth back at the subject. The bonus is the nice catch lights in her eyes.

I agree that some warm light being reflected would really punch that shot up. The model does a lot of the work for you in that particular shot.
