This one certainly caught my eye. I'm a big fan of outdoor / environmental female nudes, and this one is exquisite because of the freshness and innocence it conveys. I can almost feel the ocean breeze. Having the model to one side is a wise choice, as is your choosing the right time of day with the sun low in the sky.

A couple of things would have made it even better. First, I would have taken the distant background out of focus a bit more in order to separate the model from it and give it more of a sense of distance and depth. That could be done in camera or in post. Secondly, I would have had the model's face toward the light source (the sun), even if it meant closing her eyes as if to soak up the sun's rays and the ambience. (And of course, the obvious - she's beautiful.) Nevertheless, it's still a great shot, in my opinion, and I can't stop looking at it. Kudos to both of you for a great photograph.
