It was taken towards the sun which has reduced the contrast and washed it out a bit (no flare though), a lens hood would help assuming the sun isn't too low.

Alternatively avoid shooting towards the sun.
 
what was your metering mode? considering you have a couple of spot of (near) burn out and how bright the 'darker' areas are I'd guess you've used matrix/evaluative metering

You took at at a particular hash time of day for sunlight,4 o'clock today the sun was very bright and high in the sky, which will have washed it out a little.

I had to when I got my new camera out of the box. The lack of a mode dial completely threw me.

I really don't think Jamie took that photo thinking it was going to grace the cover of Time magazine. It's just a test photo, who cares about composition?
