Really dig that tunnel location but something about the shots I'm not feeling. I think its the PP but not sure. #3 is the best of that set. #5 is the best shot in the lot. Really like that one. Watch the flash in 7 and 8. Like #9 too.
I think part of the problem with the shots in the tunnel is that whenever you can see her eyes, they are in shadow. The shots are meant to be alluring, or so it would seem to me, but there is nothing to draw you in as the face is obscured.

We were trying to go with more mystery than alluring, butI do have some well lit shots like you mention but they didn't draw me in.

I feel like #1 & #4 would be KILLER with some lighting to give her that "pop".
But #4 could probably use some liquify on her arm/shoulder.. a bit manly shoulders.

I have some of these from the tunnel as well, some of these are SOOC except for exposure so are a little rough. As far as shoulder goes, she knows but she's Ok with that and I don't like doing body shapings.
That is a good model, and certainly she knows how to pose. I notice in several pictures that your highlights are a bit hot. Maybe that was the intend.
I would also like to see more catch lights in the eyes, that will make here eyes sparkle....
But nice work....

Just took that JPEG and did some WB and exposure adjustments, and some quick and dirty brush corrections on LR.

Number one would have went into my "favorite images of all time" stack if there were a bit of light on her face.
That does look good. Thanks for giving me something to keep in mind in edits.
Thanks! I should have brought a second light like I planned but left it in the truck.
