Despite the fact that I love artistic nudity, the only image I kinda like here is your #2. It's not free from flaws but at least it's something that is presentable and can be improved.
#1 looks grainy and overprocessed, plus subgest's breasts look crooked. When shooting nudity (even is only topless) you gotta watch for these "little details", esp. considering they consitute a major feature since they are placed at the upper "thirds" line...
#3 looks like an amateur porn. Sorry, there is no artistic merit to it. Bad pose, bad angle, all in all - bad photography.
Well taken, but if, as in #3, a model chooses that pose, whats the "Right" thing to do??? In #1 I tried HD and can see where it is overdone... Ive seen your work and feedback is greatly appreciated

Christian,
sometimes our subjects insist on some particular look.
And while I typically go along with those wishes (unless I know for sure it doesn't look good and am able to explain it in less time that it would take me to simply get the darn picture taken:-) it doesn't mean it always works.
Nobody twisted your arm to publish it as your "best of" series. If you didn't like it yourself, chances are slim anyone else would...

These are more along the lines of boudoir. I would go back to the raw images and play around with some different more simple post process work. Loose the reverse vignette it's killing the images. not horrible keep it up improvement will come

Beauty is all around us. Take the time to capture and preserve it.
