Looks as if you have her mostly lit from the left side of the photo (her right) and overhead not really giving the impression of backlighting. But even so I would like to see a little fill light in her face.
looks like she isn't too happy/very shy...;-( IMO the back lighting isn't very strong...I see more lighting coming from the front...more like fill light. Otherwise a sweet picture.
Uhm... backlit??
Nice, well executed portrait with a story. Like the expression, and hope that she got a really big icecream afterwards ;-) I'm not a fan of pink, though, but that's my subjective opinion off course.
