taken by a large monument and used its shadow as the frame, originally intended to use the actual monument as the frame but this seemed more interesting

The woman is overexposed, it would have been better to move in close to the subject and get an exposure lock, then move back to get the composition you wanted. As it is the camera has made an average exposure for the shadowed area and the sun light area resulting in an exposure that is correct for neither.
i am sure you will hear this a lot but a tighter crop keeping the full outline of the shadow and elimnating the building and the wall wouuld have worked much better. Beautiful model and interesting idea- shame there weren't more dandilions but the one in the cement really had potenial of standing out in a less busy shot.
Clever idea. Could've simplified the composition by tighter cropping though (the rest of the yard is unnecessary), and it seems that there might be bit of camera shake - maybe a faster shutter speed was necessary?
