Just to keep from getting the DNMC votes, I used sunlight as key and flash as fill, running the Vivitar 285HV at 1/2 power for a 40% flash/ambient ratio. Working with a light-skinned blonde on a very sunny day, I had to be careful not to blow highlights.

Eight 1's? I really can't understand those low voters, they are pissing me of lately, and that's a great example of how they can suck.
This is a great example of fill flash in my opinion, the light on the model is amazing and the background is so perfectly processed and composed that makes it look like it's in a studio. The theme is provocative which i think it's great for the different reactions people have when they look at her beatiful body. Good job!
You crack me up! I so want to see this one on the front page! Strangely I'm really having a hard time stopping my eyes from wandering down from her face. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Sea looks pretty beautiful too!
Incredible colors! The ocean is stunning, and the horizon alluring. The little waves gently lapping on the smooth sand are very inviting, and give a feeling of warmth and nostalgia. Plus the gradient sky is lovely, and really draws the eye to explore the heavens and the infinite beyond. Just a couple of minor distracting elements which mar the otherwise perfection of a gorgeous ocean shot.

Something about the horizon line cutting through her head doesn't look right , I also would have cropped tighter and maybe shot from either a higher or lower angle
