Like the composition with her entering the frame. She's beautiful and looks very focused on something off in the distance, tail up and on alert. Because we are seeing her shaded side and with the light striking the grass around her, she appears a bit dark, especially on the smaller view. Wouldn't advocate doing anything about it, just the circumstances you had to work with. Well done!

Nice capture. In a few more steps she is going to offer you perfect rim lighting. Did you get that too?

Gary and Lon,
Thanks for your comments.
Lon the major factor in determining shot position and timing here was whether there was grass covering the head, further on this was the case.
