Here is one of the photos that I shot when I was up in Alaska this summer. Let me know what you think.

Exactly my thought!

It's Alaska in the summer time...probably got sunlight for 20 hours a day....probably not so cold.

As for the photo (apart from the obviously beautiful young lady), the composition is too centred. I do like how the mountains/hills in the background lead the eye toward her, but there is just too much dead space around her.
Also, if you're going for the typical head-up-spray...then go for it. It looks like she only had the tips of her hair in the water to start with.

Lastly, while the exposure is nice, the lighting is a bit bland. A more dramatic lighting scenario would fit better here IMO. Probably hard to accomplish, what with the sun being high in the sky most of the day.

I have to say is tasty.

I would have underexposed the background and used an off camera soft box for the main light even a little edgy with the main light to bring out the model and e haze the suit

Kinda lose her left boob in the brightness of the water.

Other than that, it's a great shot. I agree lighting could have been a bit better, if you could even swing it in that environment.
