The first picture you posted is my favorite. Lovely eyes in the first two pictures. I'm not too sure about the third one. Seemed a little dark to me. Excellent snaps nonetheless.
I like #'s 2 and 3. Great eyes!
Although the shoes are quite endearing in #1. That's a nice pose, but I'm drawn like a bug to candlelight by those stunning eyes.
Satisfying shoot, I bet it was.
Nice shots... I would love to see you 'mood up' the last one by making it a very contrasty b&w... I find her normal attire is very much at odds with the look on her face. I think you could do some neat things with it in B&W!
I like the first shot but I think you should lose the sky. It's to bright compared to the rest of the shot and doesn't add anything to it. I think overall they are a bit dark.
I also liked this one, but wasn't sure on how to crop it, ideas?
I think I like a 10" x 8" crop best on this one.
I also did a little:
Dodge on her face, to lighten it up.
Burn and Clone tool on some of the rails in the background.
Curves adjustment, to lighten the middletones a bit. I kept the shadows and highlights pretty much as they were.

Thanks Zig! I like your edits much better, I will try it on the original.
Thanks everyone for your comments, she does have amazing eyes. When I first met her, her hair was a darer red...I was so diappionted when I saw she lighted it, the darker color really made her eyes pop even more.
BTW, I noticed the stars on some of the threads, what is that about?
Giselle,
If you look at the top of any thread, you will find a "Rating" drop-down. Anyone can rate a thread for interest or whatever. I think it's considered bad form to rate your own thread however.

Good work, now finish the job a little bit of post processing is all it takes. See the Pop Tutorials, here
just a quick example, on your low-res attached file.
Wow, that looks so much better! Between you post processing and Ziggy cropping I could cut down on my time in front of the computer, too bad it's not hi res images.:D

Also, she is clenching her hands, which is not a very feminine appearance. Try to get her to relax the hands into a more natural position.
I also agree with the comments about her eyes, they are splendid.

I like 1 & 2 the best.
Photo 4 seams to have a glow around her head like she was added to the background or something.
Take Care,

The glow is caused from Houston humidity, frizzy hair!

Damn! What if I like one of my own pics!?
Then you just whisper, "Psst. Hey ziggy! Would you mind bumping me some stars?"
If I'm semi-coherent enough to understand the request, I might oblige.
