    Really gorgeous lady, and overall nice set.

    Couple of nits which jump out at me, however:

    - extreme angles. I'm tilting my head to connect with her eyes in some of these, which is kind of my personal marker for when a tilt is too much. YMMV, but I find the tilts in 1 and 5 (and to some extent the angle in #4) too extreme.

    - in 4, I'm very aware of wide-angle lens distortion. Her feet look 100 miles away from her hands, which look rather disproportionately large. I have no idea what the solution is for that other than find a bigger space, move back and use a short telephoto to compress rather than elongate. On a plus note, you nailed the lighting in that one - it's potentially a great shot.

    - last one (if you number your shots it's easier to comment, btw thumb.gif) - I'd have preferred more light on her face and less on her arm. I struggle with this myself in similar poses, so I know how awkward it can be! You can address some of that in post, of course, although it's always better to do it with light positioning. Experimenting with this myself - I guess it's about flagging the light so it doesn't fall where it isn't wanted (barn doors?), but I'd love to know ways of controlling light through positioning for a shot like this .....

    Thanks for the comments divamum, I cant figure out how to control the light either. I am gonna experiment with flags on the next model.

    Nice work in ##4, 5!
    A nit: I'd rearranged the pillow in #4 so it's either not visible at all or is a more prominent part of the frame.

    Thanks.. I thought it looked a little weird after shooting, but was too late to remove it..
