Mermaid Fantasy is my choice for WCN POTY!
My reasons:
- can see the model's face, i.e. her eyes
- model's facial expression is more pleasant
- somewhat more interesting background
- natural breasts, although Nata Lee's "enhancement" is quite good
- smooth [sand-free] skin
- a slightly better pose (imo)

Mermaid Fantasy. Because the model looks like Paulina Porizkova.

So we have come to the Finals. And I believe we have really made the right choices over the past steps... and we have a fan-tas-tic match on our hands.
"Beach Babe" vs "Mermaid Fantasy", two completely different schools of photography, two very different models, colours vs. black and white - it's all there.
"Beach Babe" is stunning in the frontal pose, combined with the slightly dreamy look to the right, as if she isn't fully aware what's going on. Her rich, smooth skin is a great contrast against the turquoise/blue waters, and the sand delivers the perfect base for the set. The model is a knockout, that is obvious.
The second photo, "Mermaid Fantasy", is all black and white, and has a rather cool mood. Whereas pic #1 is fully hot, the model and the mood of picture #2 are classic, calm, and the look is directed into the viewers eyes. The lines of the models back match the lines of the hills in the background, and the ripples of the sea deliver some sort of micromatch.
So it is, in my eyes, young, buxom, hot, against more mature, cool and classic. In a way, the decision will fall much swung by the mood we have right now... and I am in the mood for...

Expect Nothing and Appreciate Everything
Beach Babe gets my vote...The model is gorgeous, the form is very good and the colors and theme are great too and speak to me. There is nothing wrong with this picture in my eyes! 
Although Mermaid Fantasy is nice in its form and the model is gorgeous too, the lighting doesn't look quite right for me and she looks a bit too dark, with a massive white glare behind her. This is because the sun is lowish and on the other side of her body, reflecting off the sea and her back. The side of her that has been photographed is in the shade which almost looks like she is a silhouette.
I also wonder if this picture was originally shot in colour and then changed to black and white artificially in photoshop or something? The white glare suggests the photo may have been light corrected and enhanced too, and this, in turn, affected the black and white balance of the picture! Just a hunch!
