Playing with Lights and backdrop.. C&C Please

[JTB]

These are just straight shots I feel that I want the original to stand on it's own with out any photoshop and stuff... If they are able to stand then they can be edited and look even better.

Not bad. The pose in #2 seems rather awkward and forced, but I like #1. The lighting is good, but I think 1972 called and asked for its backdrop back! I think these would have been much better shot high-key on white, and I'm puzzled by the catchlights. What did you use for lighting and modifiers on this?

Did you use two hood lights pointed pretty much directly at her? How far away was the light source?
