I think you could have had a little more light on her legs, particularly her right leg (our left side of image). One thing that I was wondering about is the texture of the water. I wanted to see less of it for some reason. Just as an aside, if you opened the aperture a few stops that could be smoothed out. Not sure if it would actually improve the image... just a question I wanted to raise.

I'm not sure I agree with the -1 rating on this. Yes there are a lot of things that could've been handled better, however characterizing it as a failure goes too far me. To address your more specific request to critique the balance of the ambient light with the strobe, I actually think you did a nice job with this. The lighting on the models face is short and therefore complementary and whether she's looking at you or not is a personal choice. I imagine this is one of the sequence where some of them she's looking at the cameras well.

Benjamin, i hate TD... but has no choice. Ur image has a lot of tech flaws and composition too. She's a real gorgeous model, and u had place and all the potencial to make an extraordinary shot. She's too centered; making boar the composition. In a beach with those shoes? Imagine the naturality if she's barefoot... with her feets in sand. Light... she's very dark, need a powerfull flash or be a few close. Focus isn't sharp in nowhere. I (this is me) would preffered she looks into the camera. Details and details but substract strength and beauty to your image. And she's real beauty. U could be close of her, have space in top and bott, More of her face, Yes, sunset is beauty but she's the focal point... Anyway... this is how all of us learn. Shooting and failing... so we learn. Keep working with she, cuz is real gorgeous. Best for both
