the sunlight is very harsh, place her in shadow and use a reflector

Recently I've been watching a TV show called "Lie to Me" which deals with microexpressions, so forgive me if I'm way off here: brows furrowed, apparent smile but the corners of the mouth are turned down...it's almost as though the subject is only pretending to be happy about whatever she is looking at. Backlighting is nice, DOF is appropriate, composition is good, looking off-frame creates interest. Still, the facial expression leads me to believe she's either watching a wedding she doesn't approve of or has seen someone she once was very close to while at a funeral.
