The super hard light combined with the direct fill just makes for an aesthetically unappealing photograph. For the first shot, I think that perhaps a stronger fill would actually be preferable. I dunno about you, but to my eyes, it seems that the sunlight is overwhelming the flash and that's why there are still shadows across the face. What do you think? That shot is definitely a lot better, purely because the subject seems happy. My only real criticism of the pose is that the knees are messy and distracting. Either change the pose, or crop them out:

I thought that the knees were at an appropriate angle, they are not foreshortened into an unnatural length or forced into a weird perspective that makes her look contorted. I wanted to include more of her body because it anchors her on the stairs and the pose is more comfortable looking. With the crop Spog suggested, its unsure what her pose is and the what the background is. But I will keep these comments in mind when I want to show more body. I will certainly concede that it would be better to include all her legs - but I couldn't really show that without breaking out MSPaint..... My point is: be careful when chopping off body parts. Having half a set of knees looks odd. On a wide scene like that, it's better to include the whole body.
