It's a nice shot Vikki - although maybe needs a bit more contrast.

Vikki
I will try and be constructive about your photo which is something you would rather have I suspect than just saying nice photo etc. So here goes
Its a bit overexposed and washed out. The ISO is way too high at 3200 (looking at the exif
file)which is why the picture has come out like it did.
You need to start at 100 or 200 ISO then work to higher numbers if needed.
The higher the ISO the more light goes onto the sensor and is just as important to set correctly as shutter speed and aperture.
This link may help for camera settings

Open menu tab on the left and go to ISO setting video instructions. Might as well view all the videos at the same time
Exif gives the data on digital photos, type in "exif download" in google where there are several free download sites for this program
Had a little go at adjusting your picture if you don't mind
