I work with a photographer that specializes in high school senior portraits. He has been doing more and more water photography lately and here are a few photos that we have edited. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Love the first one the most, it's a fun image.

I can't quite figure out how to fix it, but her skin tone in the second one looks a little colorless to me. Her skin color and lip color are the same and it bugs me. It might be that way without editing but it looks a little strange. Just personal preference though! They are both nicely captured photos.

Yes I agree. The face looks very flat colour wise.

The trouble one has to go through to see young girls in wet tops.

Looks nice but i think the tone is too high. Try to work with it and with the girl skin to see if it is successfull

I guess I disagree here.
The first image is overexposed, you have a whole lot of blown out highlights.
A slower shutter speed would help to blur the water and I think that would help too.
I'm not crazy about the pose either but it may work on a tighter crop.

I like #2 a lot more.
Again a tighter crop and a little more vibrance with the color.

I think they work better together, but with the first toned down, and the second brightened up.

Looks good.
I would adjust the curves a bit to make it a bit contrasted. Not to much though.

You mentioned this as a portrait, so it means that the skin tone and details really matter, the second one would look more stunning and eye catching the skin tone is a little fair and lips a bit more red. Isnt it ?
