Dance Photo: Odd pose?

Hi! The image I'm asking for critique on here is one that was taken in the middle of a river for a dancer. She really liked this pose, and I would love some CC on the both images! Thank you!

First one feels a little strange to me. Love the second one

I agree with Lee -- the second one is very nice, but the first could use work. In my opinion, I think the second arm should've been involved a bit, along with showing some motion. Whether she is blurred a bit from a simple dance move, or if you show her frozen in action after showing the blur of her moving.

Sorry if that seems confusing...

Thank you, gentlemen! I appreciate it. I see what you're saying, Cody, I couldn't put my finger on exactly WHAT was off with that one!

First one is odd because of the angle of view I guess. Second one is cool but I miss the ground somehow:)

First one: is there too much space to the left of the model? She feels a little unbalanced, although this of course could be part of the overall design of the shot.

Second one: again, this feels a little unbalanced. The tree and ground seem to be holding her down: if they were to disappear then she would really fly!

End of coat season

Ady thrifted some faux fur and thought it'd be fun to shoot. She spend the afternoon with me and we shot several of her "furs". I hope you like this one.
