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:)

Thanks for the feedback!

The point of the 2nd one was to be generic enough that it could be used more as a background for other print publications, so the hidden face was actually intentional! Thank you for the feedback!(:

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!
