I think the model is beautiful, but little details are chipping away at the image. Things like random foam, grit on her right arm, and specks in the background that might have been removed either pre- or post create distractions and take away from what could have been a very pretty, clean shot.

Thanks for your comments! :)

I think committing to the shot either higher or lower would have helped. Either give us a bit more of the ocean and sky, or focus on getting a clean reflection. Also the model looks uncomfortable. Clean up the image in Photoshop by getting rid of the high contract dots like shells or rocks in the sand, and the random foam in odd places like near her belly. Great attempt! The right direction, but keep working at getting it cleaner and more engaging.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement!
