 overexposed pic, but I like it. :)

I totally agree with everyone. This was one to play with in PS, but could've been much better. Thanks for the feedback. :)

I like the idea of over-exposing here, yet you may have gone a stop too far...also, without the ability to tweak contrast this doesn't quite work...good shadows and composition

This has potential. Next time try to diffuse the sunlight to avoid the highlight/blownout parts. Fill in the shadows that are that way created with some reflected light or diffused flash. Also don't use a carpet as a background, put more distance between subject and background.

Good idea and a good portrait in general, but the light is a bit too harsh IMO.

Great positioning of the model, I like it, but the direct sun needs to be blocked in a shot like this. It's simply too harsh. Suggestion - try the same shot, but keep the model completely in the shade.

I'm sure edited this would be a great photo(which is why i'm adding another point to my vote). as it is now, the light is too bright on her face.

Too blown out with light need more control over lighting and seems out of focus

The models great features are lost to the overexposure and harsh shadows.
