I like the shot, the framing, and the great lighting across her face, just catching her eyes to make them radiant. The whole thing looks a little green though. Almost making her a bit queasy looking. The green cast is also masking all the other colors, highlights, and shadows appear flat. I popped your pic into lightroom and just by auto adjusting the white balance, the tint slider moved +19 away from green, immediately improving the dynamic aspect of the image. Here's a before and after comparison. The white point and black point sections of the histogram weren't showing any data, so I moved those so the pic had a more dynamic exposure. Then just a minimal (+5) amount of split toning to give a bit of color contrast in the highlights and shadows (primarily for the sand). I didn't change much, just tried (hard with a JPEG) to clean up the colors a bit. Here is the final tweak. I'm not sure if this was a candid moment or a planned shoot. If it was candid, then it is what it is. But for a planned shoot I would like to see the warning label of the innertube rotated around so she's either sitting on it, or it's behind her body in the shot. I'd usually want to see a little more separation on the calves, so it doesn't appear as thick legs at first glance. But the feet together conveys the wanting to get warm in the fading light kind of mood. Once again, great shot.

The color palette is nice, good background framing and focus. Good shot.
