It's certainly not a bad compromise. The overall effect is nice.
Of course if you look at contemporary fashion photography, anything
goes. The end result is all that counts. Even Richard Avedon, who
might be considered the father of modern fashion photography, engaged
in some distinctly over the top looks, including ultra high contrast
and blown highlights. Although I have to say, I like his more
conventional work far better than his extreme stuff.

I hear what you're saying. Ideally I would have liked to be shooting
her under one of those opaque shades so she wasn't in such harsh
direct sunlight.
But that wasn't an option so I exposed in such a way as to blow out
the sand for a bit of a high key look to the background. That
highlight on her face is an unfortunate compromise to the look I was
hoping for.
I'm hoping to do a bit more of this type of shooting for some
strange reason.
Oh I know. Practice.
Yeah. that's it, practice.
;-)
Thanks for looking & commenting.

Nice composition and framing. The highlights on her face are quite
blown.
That's a tough one. A smaller stop and more fill would be the only
practical
solution. But you know that.
