they look great! i like the last 2 because she looks like she's being silly! #3 looks the most natural, but those red splatchs on her arms are very distracting to me. maybe you could try a different color light or try to decrease the brightness of it (well, i'm assuming it was a light u used. apologies if it wasn't). Also, having her head cut off at the top might be a wee bit distracting. i really do like this one a lot though! you captured her high spiritedness! #4, i think this one is the best technically, but keep in mind that i'm not a professional...just a hobbyist who is still in the very beginning stages of improving my technical skills. she isn't quite in the center so that's good. i totally love the lighting on this and enjoy the high contrast and b/w. i also find the shadows and little graininess very appealing. i think what i love about this one the most is her expression and pose. Looks like she was dancing maybe or jumpin' around, and since i love dancing, well, i find this one very interesting. she looks so silly and happy here too, and everything together on this one adds up to a wonderfully fastastic image!!!! This is THE ONE for me!! #2, those spotches on her body really bother me. i also don't care for this one because she looks like a kid here....very innocent looking and child-like. i guess if i'm gonna look at a nude/semi nude pic of a female (not my thing since i'm a heterosexual gal), then i would rather images of women who look a bit older. This one just bothers me because here she looks sooooo young. but that's just me and my preference. #1, this one looks good. i like the tones you used, but that high light on her hand bothers me. i love her hair in this one. i find myself a bit distracted by some splotches on her face, but they're not nearly as noticeable as in the others. i think this one is actually pretty good, but personally, i just don't care for it. maybe because she's lookin' straight at me? dunno. again, looking at pics of nude/semi nude women is not something i dig. but if i'm gonna look at them, then i prefer to see more natural poses. i totally love the direction you went with #3 & #4...the naturalness just adds soooooo much in my opinion and makes for a much more exciting photo. i think if you explore this direction you're gonna make some really exciting and high-energy images! but that's enough from me. Others here are much better photographers than i am and can give you better advice. You did a really fantastic job though! these kind of images are verrrrrry hard to do!!!!! keep up the fantastic work! Oh, and welcome onboard here!!!!!! great to have ya!
