Comments welcomed.

I really like the lighting!

Sexy shot of a beautiful woman. Great lighting. I would like to know what was the source of lighting. Congrats.

it is probably possible to piece together how the shot was conceived, I think the dryness of her overall appearance is very effective, especially due to the great lighting. The splash across the front draws too much attention, and perhaps should not have covered her left fingers,

great shot I love the light the waves smashing against her body and the lovely sunset great job

Great lighting, sharpness and model! Please give me details! Very nice

A very natural look - crisp details but still natural looking. You did a very effective job with the fill flash which must have been diffused.

Great!  The nice light, the sharp water and the vivid model.  All is good.  Best Regards,

The fascination with the light is what attracts all of us to this gorgeous model great image! Congratulations for making it to the gallery today!

What an incredible capture of colors and perfect light. The model is beautiful too, of course, and the skin tone and quality are amazing. Congratulations.

Studio shot and out-door shot ?  Probably a montage.

Professionally taken. Great light, colors and pose.

No montage here. It looks like the guy used just a single strobe, possibly battery-powered. Judging from the properties of the light and the shadow in the bottom-right corner, it appears that the light modifier was a softbox, possibly a golden softbox, could be an umbrella though. The key here, was to properly balance the ambient light and the strobe, which is *extremely* EASY if you know what you're doing. This is professional work, not your garden-variety weekend photo-snapping. Any real pro will tell you that setting up and executing a shot like this is surprisingly unchallenging. Keep up the good work, man. In my opinion, everyone who's even half-serious about taking photos with his DSLR, should know how to pull out a shot like that.

Beauty! You've done a super job here in this strobe assisted low light image. Bravo!

Other have praised your lighting and I do think that it is good but perhaps a little too good, so much so that the rest of the image feels a little like a sore thumb sticking out a distracting backdrop.

To the right of the picture something is casting shadow. You may want to crop a little tighter.

Other than the above I think you have a beautiful location and a lovely model. Compositionally this is lovely and shows a keen eye for a good shot.

This photo is well executed from the technical and aesthetic points of view. It is even fairly creative. But is it artistic? Hardly... It wasn't meant to be. This is commercial photography. Commercial photography is paid for, seen and judged by consumers, not art appraisers. For what it is, this photo is right on the money.
