Thank you Julie for your reply,

I took this photo with a digital camera so it'll be easy to take more. Good idea. I'm wondering though if I move her closer to the window then the light might wash out the lit side of her face? I guess there is only one way to find out. Maybe this configuration won't work at all, I wanted her leaning against a wall but this way her face is turned AWAY from the light. I leaned her against that wall behind her (perpendicular to the wall with the window) but it was too far away from the window and turned out too dark.

Thank you for your nice comments about the colors in her face, I achieved those by complete accident! Seems I get better skin tone color with my digital than I do with my still camera.
