Here's a possible improvement by selectively brightening what you wanted
to be the subject.

To finish the portrait lesson; when shooting with the subject in shade
and with a sunlit background make sure the flash exposure for the
subject is not brighter than the sunlit background. If it is it will
make the sunlit background look artificial, as though it's a painted
background.
