I like what your doing with #2 but her eyes are closed. Yes, I was looking at her eyes.

The first one you lost the shape of her body. If you would have arched her back slightly, and brought that right arm up a bit you would have given the body so much more shape. The second one looks like an outtake as far as posing goes. You could have brought her arms up and did something soft with her hands, but she looks like she is confused on what to do. I really like the processing though.

This is the only problem i see here. lol

These seem to have been shot from very close with quite a wide lens. The distortion is well handled here, I think, but I am dubious that you could pull off a whole shoot with that. You're getting a kind of abstract "closeups of body parts" kind of look here which is interesting and suggestive, but I'm not sure it's all that sexy.

Plus, what everyone else said.

Nice! On the verge of being nuclear but not quite there with the light

Now thats hot. You know where she got the lingerie from?

Very nice.

I think a little more DoF would have made this one a little better, but it's still excellent. You're still shooting quite wide here, so her head looks out of proportion, I think it pretty much works because she's so hot nobody's gonna notice

Great handling of the skin tones, good pose, good clothing. Not a bad location, there's some good visual interest there without looking too busy.

I particularly like the hand on the bricks. It's very.. anticipatory, or something.

This seems to be some pretty frank and honest C&C...classing the second one as an "outtake" posing-wise...ouch!...but I do understand where K.T. was coming from with that comment. As a man, neither of the firsty two example shots are even remotely 'sexy' to me. The first one looks very strained and just flat out awkwardly-posed,not to mention, headless,and with the absolute most-unusual hip-bone placement I have ever seen...it just simply does not "read" right, and behind this pose is a very distracting background. The second shot looks simply "unusual", for lack of a better term. Neither of these seem compelling to me.

The third shot, the one of her standing in front of the long lights, in lingerie and stockings, is much more-traditional, and is better-posed. The brightest part of the entire frame though, is that blown-out highlight on the right side light fixture in the background...that light fixture's bright glow is hurting the shot, but as others have pointed out, her rockin' body helps carry the shot. I do not mind the high-intensity skin look...it's kind of a modern, fashion-y look, and I think a groom would LOVE this photo of his bride-to-be or new bride.

Got to say this some if the best critique I've read in a while. Light humor, honest critique. The reason I choose to stay with the forum. Kudos all around!!

Thanks everyone - I appreciate all the honesty!

To the question about where the lingerie was purchased. . . I do not know - sorry

That "one more" one is very nice.

I like the side one but agree it could use a little more curvy.

The one where she is facing us... my honest to god reaction was "she looks like a zombie bride in her undies". It's the eyes that are bothering me I think.
