I uploaded a mod with a bit of cloning, and also brightened her face. Your lens might have been able to go a bit wider on the aperture, to throw her background out a bit more and also increase the shutter speed (the shot does not look totally sharp when you go in close, and although this could be due to downsizing, i shutter speed and focal length could have been factors). As it looks like she had spotted you anyway, you could perhaps have waited for her to move in front of a less distracting background? Or even asked her to? Well done for getting the shot, though. I always feel very embarrassed about photographing people.

Basically a nice interesting image. I would darken the background, currently clearly visible as a car, or, better still, shoot from a lower viewpoint looking up. the light is all on the vessel and not her face. This is a classic case of a need to switch on the camera flash at half power. It would have punched some light into her face giving a very fine image along with that lower viewpoint.
