Hi Rob,

Martine looks fantastic here! She's certainly enjoying the view ad sun. And the fantastic background makes her look almost exotic.... :))
Now, I'm expecting to see YOU on the beach... (*_^)
Well done!

Robert I like the way you framed her in the image, a nice close up but no distortion. The sky in the background is a little dark for the scene but that may have been your intention. Peace, B

Very good composition. I think the skin is oversaturated though. Perhaps decrease red a bit to make the skin look a bit more natural. The other colours look very nice.

Well it seems that your muse and model never cease's to inspire you and having such a beautiful BG is the recipe for a great shot!
Lovely colors,lighting and a very good, tight low level composition.
TFS,
Vassilis

Very dramatic image! But hey, you had to use post processing to get the skin as red as we tan here in sunny South Africa (heh-hehe-heh).

Nice composition and great colours, although the drama created with the darkened sky does not realy correlate with the bright sun shining on your model.

Maybe next southern summer you can pay South Africa a visit and experience what we have to offer - "Braaivleis" (directly translated as "fry meat", or as you all know it as B-B-Q), SUNNY skies and a lot of beautiful women on the beaches...

Wehhey, nice colours. The blue of the sky is marvellous and the fleshtones nothing less. The compo is perfect, even the deail in her sun glasses. The only thing I would arrange is her pants. Little bit loose. I also arranged the hard shadow under her breast and took her belly in just a little bit so as to take of that little wrinkle.

Hope you don't mind me touching your model!!!
