My preference is the 3rd. My only nit would be, that I would like to see the light on the left maybe toned down a bit and little more warmth. Love the models expression in that shot. Was this shot in the pool? Just looking at what looks like a natural bottom in the foreground. Nice work

Thanks for the tip. Yes, it was shot in the pool and composited. I've used backlighting before but not at this angle so it was a bit new for me in that respect.

Wow wow wow. Love the editing in these. Any chance you'd be willing to share some tips as to how you processed these?
For the first one, I darkened the blue color of the water and darkened the bottom of the pool. For the 2nd one, very little was done....mainly curves adjustments and cloning out some bubbles. The final two are both composites, which entailed very complex editing.
I have wanted to try this but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
A few questions please; what material are you using for the black background?
What type of strobes?
You mentioned underwater stands and pocket wizards. Are you firing the strobes with pocket wizards or using an on housing strobe or on camera flash to optically trigger the remotes?
Do you use above water strobes as well?
If yes, is the on-housing strobe strong enough to trigger a strobe mounted on a stand above the pool?
Did you trigger the strobe used for back light optically?
I would need the Aquatica Water Wizard Housing for my pocket wizard which is overkill since UW portrait style photography would be a rare and novelty event for me. I will likely just use my current pair of Ikelite DS 161’s.
