I think the light, in this case, doesn't do any good for the photograph. It washes away the shadows a picture needs for dept. One never needs a lot, but this picture doesn't have any. Also, pick colors that can stand apart from the rest of exterior of the subject, such as instead of yellow and white flowers that blend in, pick deep red or blue.
Everything is way too blown out. This will suffer.
Would have been better if you had her turned around the other way with some of the light falling on her to give a subtle suggestion of light. This is just overexposed.
There seems to be little contrast in the subject. Good attempt at highkey though. Try upping the contrast and you may find that it begins to pop by blowing out the distracting remnants across the top and bringing the subject to life.
