Which edit do you prefer? (bikini shoot)

I like them both but this might be one of the few times that I like a strong edit that looks like preset over the original. I have a thing for that 70's film look at the beach which it has some of that feel for me. I think it reminds me of my childhood and how the beach is so fun.

Nice work, I am trying to figure out the shadow? Did you find a sliver of shade to have her stand in like an umbrella shadow?

Left I think she pops more in the original

Left.

left for me

I had someone stand between her and the sun with a large diffuser, so that's the shadow on the ground

The right one for me.

Right; more vintage.

The left would could be improved by adding some light to her face in post.

gotta go with the right one..just has a better feel to me.

Left, but straighten the horizon whichever you go with.
