I like the building in the background and the theme of the picture. Some thoughts:
1. The tree and the lady and both competing to be the subject (there isn't a clear subject).
2. There are very few shadows, most of the image is midtones and highlights.
3. The top right section of the image isn't doing much.

over exposed too much, too little contrast.
