I think you nailed the image. The lighting is very pleasant, the balance between natural light and fill is nice and natural, I wjould like to see a catchlight on the eyes but not a biggie I guess.

The skin color and pose is also very nice you could provably retouch that fly away hair (specially the one sticking out on the left side)

Overall I like your work a lot. One more thing and perhaps insignificant. Whatever that white thing is floating right behind her does not help the image. But that would have required a different location I guess.

Congrats

Thanks Alex, the "white thing" is pollen from the trees on the Beach.  after this session I always bring some tool to be able too clean the environment. you learn something every time you do a session :)

Best regards Tore

I agree with all that has been said, but would add that in a photo like this I would like to see a smile, a happy face of someone having fun!  Her expression looks like she has her knee on a sharp rock but is putting up with it for the sake of the picture.

Thanks for your comments, I don´t think the rock was the problem but the water was pretty cold :)

I agree that expression is of high impotence in this type of shoots, but I'm not sure the model always have to smile. I bought a book about some of Gil Elvgrens work and I guess he use a smile on 75% of his paintings but not on all.

Best regards Tore

I think the technicals of the photo are right on. I do agree that the pollution in the water is distracting. I don't know what to make of her expression. I agree it doesn't have to be all smiles or all sad but the confusion (in my mind anyway) is also a bit distracting from the overall photo. But it is a beautifully executed photo of a rather striking model!

Beautiful, one more time!!

If only the expression of your model said something other than "I am not comfortable or I am straining" 

I feel too that the light is far to complicated - and a highlight at the tip of the nose? 

A very nicely composed shot with beautiful lighting, Tore!

Wonderfull composition, sharp details and great lighting. Love posture of the beautifull model.  Regards

Tore, beautifully done. The light is excellent.

Nice shot for a full of life and...not only...girl!...Ciaomau!

A beautiful image with wonderful texture throughout, even

on and inside the water. Excellent work my friend, bravo.
