The lighting is very nicely done. There are some where it looks like you dialed in a bit of underexposure on the rest of the shot (the one you posted is one), and this is very effective in those shots.
Three more comments. On the shot you posted, I don't think the long gloves work, as the one on her right hand gets lost in the sand, and on her left in the dress. Bare flesh would have stood out nicely on those backgrounds. Two, on the same topic kind of, I think the shot you posted might have been a bit stronger with a little more room at the bottom under your subject. Three, the strongest shots in the set are the ones where you framed out distracting elements of the background. There is no comparison between the shots which have beach/water only, and those that have beach/water/dock/shoreline/yachts/etc.

EDIT -- Make it four. There is some kind of yellow plastic thing in the stones sort of in the triangle between right arm and body. Could be cloned out, but it is the kind of thing you should look out for when settig up.
