Went back to the beach and took more pics of my friend, this time without flash. Now I am wondering which one I should leave in my port. The first two are the new ones with no flash, the others are older with flash. Thanks in advance.

NUMBER 1


NUMBER 2


NUMBER 3


NUMBER 4

The ONE I prefer is number TWO.

Number 2.  I like where that concept could go, 'though I don't particularly like the content of that particular image.  The others all do something with light that also looks less than natural, but in less interesting ways.

Thanks!

TWO.

Technical choices and shoulda'-coulda'-woulda's  aside, this is a pleasing image.  "Oooh, he froze water...I can do that..."
It's not that, it's the model's held expression amidst the timing of the water.  I find it's a wonderful image.  Of the four it's the most interesting and I would say not as easy to duplicate as one might think.  Have to find a model that doesn't flinch, stays composed, etc.  Very nice.

*Let me add that this image from a photography perspective (for a photographer's portfolio) is interesting and enjoyable; however, as an image for a model's portfolio, it is not as functional or focused in on the model as subject to be a strong image for theirs in comparison to the others from the set. (For that purpose, ONE, seems the most effective.)  So, depends on the purpose and intent of the image chosen.

Still nice, though.

#2's the winner out of that bunch  .  .  .

Photo #2 gets my vote

I wish you well
