Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your comment on 1. I should have gelled my flash but was juggling with a lot of stuff on my own in the wind.
With 2. and 5. the horizon was my biggest issue. With 2. I was aware when shooting that the horizon was cutting her head and I tried shooting from lower and higher, I even lay on the floor. However, this was the best angle. The other angles just didn't do it for me. Give and take I guess!
