My first bathing suit with the lovely Kaitlin modeling for me. I was quite pleased with the result. Lots of editing here. Masked off the sky, the ocean, and her and did levels/color correction on all three seperately. Lots of cloning out minor reflections, imperections, and sensor dust. Dodging and burning her skin to make it shine and add pop to her body. Liquify to make bathing suit stay tight against the left side of her as well as to change her mouth to give more of a smile than before. Sharpen and crop of course and i think thats about it.

Nice lighting and the reflection under the model is a nice touch here. Her face looks a bit odd and as I see you were using hte liquify tool, I have to wonder if that's not the cause. A tighter crop might work well here as you are presenting this as a swimsuit model shot - let the model dominate the image. Overall, this is a good photo.
Hey, nothing wrong with this babe :) Still not quite what I would see in SI, they usually go with warmer tones and blown backrounds, more closeups of the models but this is pretty good. I don´t really like the pose though, it isn´t really flattering.
Nice shot - Like the tones - Great lighting and sharpness - Like the pose. Just find the foot closest to us has dug into the sand in an awkward way and is a little distracting. Still a great fresh looking image though.
