I think you had a good idea but the brights are a little
blown and the background is a little light. Taking pictures
in bright light can be difficult and I screw up all the time with
highlights and backgrounds. I have learned that if you adjust
for the brightest part of the subject you usually get a better effect.
I always suggest watching the videos that Oksana has been kind enough
to make and supply to us. They are easy to understand and they will make
anybody a better photographer.
Hope you keep enjoying this great hobby!

While I know that I should not speak for Dale, I, never-the-less, will.
Dale said the brights are a little blown. Meaning blown out.
He is saying the image is overexposed and some details are lost in the bright areas.
With this image, exposure could have easily been reduced by a faster shutter speed
or smaller aperture opening if you wanted greater depth of field.
I took the liberty of doing some post processing with the following result. I truly hope that you do not mind.
I see that you are working with Lightroom 4.4. I made most of these adjustments using the new Radial Filter in LR5 (beta).
This, along with the new healing brush tool and great image orientation fixes make the beta well worth the download.
Yes, I know I over sharpened…. Sorry, a very bad habit of mine.

Thanks guys..
wow mandrake.. i can’t believe it’s my own picture.. it’s so totally changed.. and for the best… (course i don’t mind you tweaking it). Imagine if i gave you the raw, would be even better.. i guess.
I guess details that were over blown and lost for ever, no matter what we do to it… It’s something i must keep in mind more.. I’ll send an other one with less exposure.
Mandrake, thanks for the comment

As Dale says… Much better.
Good exposure, nice composition, and very appropriate depth of field.
Nice job.

But this time…… We have Bloomers!
And….. in white, my favorite color for bloomers.
They say that black is the absence of all color. Ok, I can buy that.
But then they say that white is the blending of all colors.
I tried mixing a bunch of colors together and got mud.
