A friend who is working on her modeling portfolio.
Shot just after dark, flash off to the side and above, I couldn't choose between this shot and another. This one won.
PP, RAW editer, pretty close to as shot, slight contrast/shadow adjustment to not lose the waves in the background. Sharpening, healing bruise on her leg, slight dodging of the background waves, her eye and hair, sharpen again, resize for web.
Hope you like it.

Nice cute portrait, would like to see her moved back a touch. Everything else seems to work well. Maybe get rid of the burn above her eye. just tone it down a touch. But a very nice image.
Gorgeous light (pretty woman too, even if she does look a little irritated). I'm looking forward to seeing your photog comments afterwards to see how you got the light on her so beautifully, but not on the sea in the background.
This is a beautiful shot, so well composed, of course with her legs it would be hard to take a bad picture, great contrast of the whites against dark sky. One of my picks for top 10. 10:)
Very nice tones and use of lighting without eliminating the background.
My only negative comment about this is that she is not smiling.
A woman's smile is perhaps one of her finest features in my opinion.
