Generally a pleasing portrait but overall it's a little too bright and her face could use some additional lighting to make it more a center of focus.  The background is a major distraction for me.  Placing her farther from the tree, or selecting another background, and using a shallower DOF would help remove this distraction.  The blurred grass in the lower right would provide such a uniform and pleasing background.  There is also a small blown out portion of her blouse on her shoulder.  Perhaps using a diffuser would help.
