You have to set the exposure and f-stop correctly on your camera, for the brightest area. Otherwise, the whites come out over-exposed, and with no detail in them, and the more subtle colors get washed out. Depending on your camera, the area that the light sensor samples to tell you the desired exposure may be an average. If you consistently have problems with the lightest areas being over exposed, set the camera to manual (if it has such a setting) and either adjust the f-stop to let in less light, or change to a slightly shorter exposure time then it would do automatically. This will make the entire image come out slightly darker, but if your subject involves very light areas, the background being darker shouldn't be a problem. I always set the camera to manual, and never use the automatic settings, as I find that the camera is rarely thinking of the same subject that I am for some reason. *L* You should also check the ISO setting on your camera, if you have one. When you are in bright sunlight, you want a lower ISO, such as 100 or 200, as opposed to when you are indoors, or on a dark cloudy day, when you might want 400. That tends to reduce over-exposure as well. I hope that helps.
