BB,

I think the highlight on the beach is finer due to oil, sweat and sunscreen. But even with the man's arm, the highlight is more scattered. I think it boils down to healthy glow versus shine.

My friend's face was illuminated by direct light parially diffused through tree branches.

I think the side by side pic you did looks wonderful. It seems right to me personally.
