    Here's what I personally think...

    <---not a pro, take with a grain of salt.

    1. Don't like that your hair's in your eyes and it still seems kinda pose-y.

    2. Don't like the angle of the shot. Try and get lower and avoid shooting downwards.

    3. I like.

    4. Hair in eyes.

    5. Is cute. I like that one. Looks like you just got in trouble and are looking to charm your way out of it. I can understand your dad's comments.

    I'll step aside now and let someone more experienced critique these.

    #4 & #5 work for me.

    Want a real challenge? Take the poses in this set, and try to get a few other "models" to mimick them... but don't let them see them first. Just try to describe them "on location." mwink.gif

    Great idea and good exercise. I for one struggle with posing still so this is a very good suggestion.

    With the look you have in the last one that shouldn't be to hard. :D

    And I will also say the best one is number 5. The hair in eyes thing isn't that great. The angle in #2 does not work in this situation. I will agree with CyberSteak on the posed feeling also...
    If you work at something hard enough, you WILL achieve your goal. "Me"

    5 is my fave too - it shows the most character and seems the most complete as a picture thumb.gif
