I feel her torso is brighter than her face (reflection from beach) is it too much a distraction?

I saw that but I think the white of the water is a bit on the bright side and more distracting then her body (did I really just say that). Perhaps lowering the shadows and dropping the highlights would give her a little more separation from the background. I love how the sun hits her hair. Nice job.

She really is quite a lovely girl. Never have had a model so trusting and willing to act out my visions.

More to come.

WOW! You nailed it! The exposure is gorgeous and the wave is perfectly in focus enough and yet not too much! What time of day was this? Did you use any fill? (I'm thinking yes?) What lens BTW? LOVING IT....seriously...absolutely gorgeous!!!! Did you expose for her skin? I love how the sky and water is not washed out! Magazine worthy BTW!!

So I think the exposure, pose and everything look fine. I think her face is a little dark, but that can be fixed in post if you choose to change it.
The model looks to be short, and while there is nothing wrong with short, I think that all the horizontal lines behind the model (the shadow of the rocks in the water, the base of the rocks meeting the water, the water line that separates the wet rock from the dry rock) are exaggerating her shortness.
That is the only thing that I notice when I look at the picture, and I don't really even mind it.
