Very pretty model! A couple of thoughts: Don't forget to level your horizons in post, and watch your exposures when shooting in bright sun; it's almost impossible to pull off these sorts of shots without some reflectors and diffusers and/or extra lighting. You did well, but it could have been even better.

yeh i didnt have none of what u mentionned as extra equipement!! there is always better

to me the angles looking down and her posing is just way off.. Seems unnatural.

I agree with the above comments as well. Your shots desperately need some fill light, the horizon isn't straight in a couple, and I personally don't like looking down on the subject. Also, some of them are really cropped too tightly. The eighth one you cropped the top of her head off to show the reflection on the bottom. They aren't bad but as Tirediron mentioned they could be a lot better.

Also, please number your photographs and limit the number you include to 4 maximum.

Just to be clear, the four image maximum* guideline is only if the OP is specifically requesting C&C on his work which he didn't do in this case.

*There is no limit to the number of images that can be posted in a thread, however, to receive the best comment & critique when that is desired, it is recommended that threads have no more than four images, and that they be numbered. If you're simply posting your work for display, the sky's the limit.

Agreed and agreed. I wasn't thorough enough in my post. Thanks for correcting me guys.

However, per the forum guidelines "A gallery for sharing photos and getting feedback, including general critique." It is my understanding that if one specifically doesn't want critique they should be posted in the "Just For Fun" forum.

OK, so not terrible but not terribly good. The model is good, her poses and expressions are fine. As already mentioned the light is very harsh. If you don't have reflectors or flash or whatever you have to take advantage of natural conditions. Most of my work is without any light modifier.

Your crops are ok with a few exceptions, my favorite is the first one of her in the water, I'm going to have to try that

Look before you trip the shutter. If you can see harsh shadows or hot spots then they are certainly going to show up in the image. Also use the histogram function on your camera (assuming it's a digital camera) and look for clipped highlights or blocked shadows. Your camera can tell you a lot right on the spot, you just have to learn to take your time and use the tools you have.

You're doing well. Just keep learning and trying things.

Dime-a-dozen poses under unattractive light. not terribly impressed, honestly.

Seems these photos rely on the model, not the photographer.

RE-SHOOT!

She definitely has a nice body, but the photos are mediocre at best. None of them really pop for me.
