    I like what you've done.

    I'd add to your first post to include img#141 to put it all in context.

    I'm digging the lighting, but they all seem just a tad dark. Also, skin tones in the first four seem just a tad blue. Not liking #6. Everything else looks great to me!

    Great model and ideas. The issue on a few of them is that her face is still in shadow and has dark eyes. I like the flare shot but wish it was higher up not low on the bottom.. They all have huge potential as does the model and might be worth shooting again. I am on my laptop so I do not have it calibrated perfectly right now as it is dark out but the colors look good to me.

    Thonsu, what seems too dark, model or background? I actually thought my models face was a little too hot.
    Tin, how would I fix the shadows, ad another light? I kinda like how its all lit except for the shadows. I agree in the flair shot, light should be higher, i actually cropped the lower section because I didnt like how her legs looked, lol.
    Im thinking maybe close the lens down and boost the flash power to darken the backgrounds?

    Both. But the model is what's more important in these photos, so at least her.

    #2, for example. What's the histogram look like in Photoshop (or LR)? What's the Mean and Median values on it? If the subject and background allow for it, I usually try to have them around 125 (halfway). You've got a darker background, so they should be less than that, but the model should help balance it out. Right now it looks like she's posing during twilight.
