A very nicely composed shot with beautiful light. In the UK you get light like this for exactly fifteen minutes on June 21st at 6:00 in the morning. If it's raining, you have to wait another year.

Here's a couple of pictures of her. http://www.2alpha.com/~pklein/currentpics/karoline_draws.htm 50mm Summicron, 1/60 at f/2, window light, Supra 400. I was sitting or crawling on the floor so Ted Grant wouldn't yell at me for shooting a little person from above. http://www.2alpha.com/~pklein/currentpics/karoline_ducks_b.htm 35mm Summicron, probably 1/60 at f/2.8 or 4, Supra 100. (Confidential to Ted: I was down on one knee for this one.) I thought seriously about cropping the top off to eliminate the people at the far end of the sidewalk. But then you wouldn't see the water, and the picture has no context. My wife felt the same way when I showed her a cropped and uncropped version.
