Both variants of portrait pleased me.

I think that both are good, but you need a bit of PP. Why?
water and the sun just disturbs me.You can use brush with 40% opacity and use black color. Be sure that brush will remove these blinks and your model will be focus.

Difficult shooting conditions, with a backlit subject. Out of the two, the second has more impact for me.

I prefer the second one Rense, the shadow on the face impacts the shot less than the colour version.

Thanks all! I will try to hide the highlights in the water, thanks for that suggestion!
