Woman at the beach

Just got my new lens in the mail and went down to the beach to try it out... This picture worth keeping, or is it kinda meh?

its an ok shot. not so much interesting to me.

Not much happening in the shot would have been better if the subject had turned a little to get a bit more profile atleast. I would have zoomed a little as well too much sky and ocean.

Make it B&W, add some noise and imprecise burning & some people will call it art. Don't forget to put on your black turtleneck!

how about a simple crop?

Thats it, and a little contrast.

I like the B&W.

Someone crop it how you think it looks good... just curious.

I like the b/w conversion, maybe put the subject a tad off centre?

(This is shallow art at its finest)

Isn't the subject already a tad off center?

I've never edited anyone else's pic on here so please forgive me. I really liked the B&W, has a cool 60's groovy feel to me. I just cropped it a bit

I like the original
I think the crop is a matter of personal taste. i think the b&w loses much of the feel of the ocean. in color it looks bright , hopeful and almost mystic, in b&w it looks tragic and well all together depressing.

Here's another take on it. I created a vintage-type LR preset.

I dunno....the black an white version makes me think of the 1st Jaws movie.
