I am starting a new photo series called "The Human Touch" ealing with portraits not just of the face but, the hands, feet, body. Also things like shadows and objects. Let me know where I can improve. It would be very helpful.

Here are a a couple of my first pics.

    I think you might have better light very early or late.

    There's too much background clutter in all the shots takes away from the subject

    Keep shooting, its a process

    This was shot around 2ish with the SB-800 and a reflector. There are some distracting backgrounds, I see what you say.

    I also would recommend that you look for what is "coming out" of your model's head. In a few of them it looks like she is a unicorn with the branches. I think softening #7 up some it could be a nice "wood nymph" type image.

    I like #2. I think there's a good connection between the model and the environment.

    In #2, though you can see she may have been sitting on the rock not long before the photo. (Redness on her bottom).

    As an absolute admitted amateur, I'm probably most fond of #5 because of the way it nicely presents the lines of her body. That cannot have been an easy pose. I would also suggest maybe attempting to see how much more parallel she could get to the branch she is holding...but again, that is what I see and I'm only here to learn. :D

    I share the sentiments of the first comment, indeed a good attempt but the backgrounds are far too distracting for me.
    Image three, four and five are not showing for me but #2 I believe is your best one of the batch.....
