#1 comes off as sophisticated. I would like it perhaps to be more bright - match the use of the product. I did web search for images - Womens Sunglasses - some good examples popped up.
#2. Perfect. Shows the product well in context - gorgeous skin and dark elegant clothing. One nit - the right edge needs to have black filled in.
#3. Excellent POV and DOF. The shoes could stand out more it seems to me. How about sitting down with legs crossed and zoomed into the shoes more.
I agree with Phil that the first one could be a bit brighter, but otherwise it's a fine shot. The second is the strongest of the set, as the product stands out the most. Perhaps a different pose would help in #3, but for me the main problem is that the strong pattern and colors of the dress steal attention from the shoes. I would also desaturate the background a bit.

Thank you Richard.
I also tried a full length shot for three. Maybe it's better?
As far as post goes, these have a little crop, vibrance/saturation and that's it. I'm going to probably rework once I get some feedback from the client. I love the idea of desaturating the bg.

My company needs to improve their filtering system.
First two are super nice!
I too vote for tad more brightness for first one and would remove couple of visible blemishes on her.
Last one is off for me.....but I have never shot fashion shots.....Its tough to think up poses....at least for me.....and models who are not experienced do it in manner where it doesn't appear natural.......
...bit centered, lower POV is making her look big, bg drawing attention, crop feels too tight around her, and her pose is not flattering to herself and her skirt, one shoe is blocking other.......her smile is not that of a model but of a tourist that is having fun pretending to be Marilyn Monroe.....for heavier subjects, best to get close as full body shots reveal too much....JMO.
Woman's perspective = find out where I can get those shoes!
Seriously though, they are all great. #2 pops - nice job with the bracelets. And #3 - I rather like the pose and shot. I think the shoes stand out just fine, but then I'm a woman - nothing will make me lose focus on those shoes! :ivar
Another woman's perspective - you couldn't pay me to wear those shoes. Uggh.
That said, the first shoe shot is better than the second, you've got the side detail of the shoes which is the most important. I just wish in the first that the shoes weren't overlapping. The last shoe shot, in addition to missing the side detail, the way the legs are overlapping, you are missing the ankle and calf definition which is forced by these kinds of heels- their only marginally redeeming quality, imho. In your first shot you can see the hint of that there, if her skirt was pulled up just slightly more so you could see that it would be better.

This would be new to me too, just my two cents.
Look forward to the ladies commenting on this.

You can buy those shoes here.
