Poor light and little action at the beach made it a lemon of a day, but here are a couple of my tries at making some lemonade

Wind forced me to keep ISO a bit higher than I would have liked so that I could maintain a fast shutter speed.

Nice poses and comps Mitesh. I'd be happy with these. Are they a bit on the cool side, colorwise? Sometimes on my laptop I'm not 100% sure of the color balance.

I like them both Mitesh. I do agree with Ken though - a little cool ~ Ron

Hmmm, first thought was that you had poor light so the images justify it and show it naturally.
The way around it if you want to is in PS I select 'Selective Color' open Whites and slide the bottom slider that says 'black'..........yes black and move it to the left. It will clean up your whites which to me are simply flat, low contrast so not clean looking.

All the details are there, great shots Mitesh!

Example: this is with no color adjustment........

You did a really nice job Mitesh with the conditions you had. I agree that they appear cool, many ways to fix that in post. One suggestion is to warm up the wb in raw. The second is my pick, I really like that one

As always, thanks to everyone for the comments. Ken, Karl and Tim- special thanks to you guys for pointing out the "coolness"

of the images

I've adjusted the WB to warm them up a bit:
