    For the most part these shots are great. I have a couple of nits. There is a difference in her skin between #1 & 2 (freckles and no freckles). Also, in #2 & 3, her bra is showing. My wife would kill me if I posted shots like that. These are minor things that can be fixed. Let's see more!

    I really like #1. Very expressive. #2 is also very good, but I find the BG a bit too much.

    Justin, very cute posing and exressions. I know it is outside but watch the hair when you can. She is a plus size girl and you've broad lighted her which makes her face wider that it is. Just watch out for that. Good stuff, post more.

    Thanks! I'll keep the freckle thing in mind. The bra part was intentional. She wanted a slightly sultry look to the images with the bit of bra showing.

    Glad you like them though!

    She has nice expressions. The colors look natural. Perspective seems that you were using a wide angle lens. If that's the case I don't suggest doing that for close-up portraits as it makes everything seem larger. Plus size or not this is not recommended. Nice job though.

    Maybe it's just me...but the first shot- the whites of her eyes look really red. Possibly when you boosted the saturation on your color?? The right eye almost makes me think she has pink eye. Overall I really like the shots however.
    Well, I guess you would call me... genus, humanus... Alice.

    #3 is quite nice, very good composition and there is a great story in this image. Was surprised that no one even mentioned it.

    With a girl of her shape, either moving your feet about 20-30 degrees to the left or having her turn her hips would have flattered her much better.

    In addition, I would have brought her legs together, feet together, feet closer to camera and then knees together and away from camera (hard to explain, better with a sample). This gives your subject shape and also helps with slimming.

    #1 becomes a stronger image if you have her lift her chin just a bit and then pull her neck forward - slims the neck/face. Feels awkward for them, looks great on camera.
