This image was taken on October 21st at 4:48pm. In terms of weather, it was the most beautiful, perfect day EVER. It was clear and sunny and (as you can see) the sun was fairly low on the horizon.
Using a single focus point, I focused on her face with an aperture of f/1.6 because I like to live on the edge (I enjoy a very shallow depth of field).
Below is the original and edited versions. Color and light adjustments were accomplished in Lightroom, in addition to the removal of the top part of the brackets (using the spot removal tool).
