Woman in pink

Hello people, she's not Mona Lisa but I like she so much. To be honest I prefer landscape and nature, portraits I think are "difficults". Anyway, what do you think about the shot?

I think it's a great shot! The only suggestion I would offer is that it seems like the people in the shade are properly exposed while the main subject is slightly over-exposed. When you are shooting in direct sunlight it is best to try to switch to a 'manual' mode if possible.

Hello Chris! Many thanks for the good advice. It is to say I used my "full automatic" Olympus C-370 and I cannot change anything... Now I'm testing my old Zenith TTL (film camera) "turning" the film into digital instead print the pics. I know I'll lose something, but with such a camera I can "control" exposure and can use any filter too. Your advice is very useful now. Again many thanks!
