Something about the skin tones appears "off" a little. It also has a "staged" appearance.

great idea, IMO need to see a little more face to capture her expression more

I really like your title. The photo is great too. The red umbrella really makes the photo... 9 My favorite so far.

definitely the centerpiece, but some obstructions in the sand confuse my eyes

My first impression was: the colours are just too rich for a grey day. I like this shot, I like how the person is walking out of the picture, and I love the red umbrella.

Love the colors... In Florida, the sand doesn't look like that... Neither does the water... I like this more and more as I look at it - man... the color is spectacular!! sorry for being repetitive. 8 :)

like the red umbrella. Guessing you bumped up the red channel because the sand and hand are off color. Maybe complete desat except for red channel would have worked here with a little bump up in the contrast in the clouds. As it is, I give you an 8 for the composition, point of view and crop. Would have liked slightly more drama here - its almost speaking to me, but not quite. working with the tones and colors would improve the score. Really like this image - let me know if you do any further work with it. I'd love to see the results!

Red is just too saturated for me.
