This image was taken on October 22nd at 4:41pm, it was (obviously) a sunny day and the sun was fairly low in the sky. Using a single focus point, I focused on her face.

Below is the original and edited versions. Color and light adjustments were accomplished in Lightroom. Because she was back-lit and standing in a shadow, I used the adjustment brush to add light right where I needed it.
