Nice set Kristal; my only thoughts are: (1) I don't like the wooden ??? behind her head in #1; it really seems to mess up the background, and (2) I think a vertial orientation and pose where either the tattoo is more visible or not visible. As-is, it's somewhat of a distraction.
Of this set, imo, #5 is the best and really terrific. - great composition, natural pose and smile, good color. She has the problem that in a full-on, straight-on smile (in #1), her chin looks full. In other poses, see 3 & 5, she looks older elegant and quite lovely.
#2 is quite nice but the framing is off. Too much space at the top and her skin areas are much too bright.
I would burn those down, crop it, and make the logo MUCH smaller.
tirediron: I know what you mena about the background in 1 - I dont know how I didn't see that while framing my shot. I couldnt decide if it was passable or not after the fact...
The_Traveler: Yes, she is a bit bright in 2. These were quick edits on my laptop, and the skin will be recoverable. Thanks for the heads up
Don't care for any of these... I'll mainly comment on #1, but in general, I'd recommend a good book on posing. #1 looks kinda soft to me on my monitor, and the composition is very square and static. The processing is lacking pop, etc.
The one overall think that I noticed was the posing. #1 is too straight on, #2 has her body straight on and she'd looking off frame.
The last one is much better IMO. That slight head tilt gives her a much more feminine pose, although that pose causes her shoulders to look bigger than necessary.
Have you considered starting a new thread with this question rather than asking a complex question at the bottom of a days old thread and perhaps derailing it from the OP's purpose?
I like them, but my only critique is that you seemed to focus on the nails and not the eyes in one, which really detracts from the photo. Granted, i am not qualified to give comments on posing and such, but aesthetically i like them.
