Very beautiful. The tones remind me of Bill Brandt's work on a French beach, but this feels crisp and modern, more like Ralph Gibson.
 
Thanks for the comment, I guess I am using "crisp and modern" equipment & materials so I guess that explains the look. I was definitely trying for a "Brandtian" look but the earlier style he developed for his images published in "Literary Britain" in 1951 rather than the beach nudes he photographed later, usually in sunlight (which he seems to have printed in a less intense & contrasty style).
If I ever get a chance to photograph at this location in less sunny weather I will.
