Joking aside, they're all very nice, and very varied. All except for 7 and 8 - what happened to the color there? Those two really stick out, and I have to say the color cast isn't quite as flattering on your model as in all the others.

Thanks Erik!
I wish it was my job...
Color on 7 & 8 - I kinda like it colder for some reason.
I even went up and did some bw out of them..

Thanks, David!
Fun??
Some of these are the best glam pics I have ever seen...
#7 is my absolute favorite. Superb lighting and color palette (I wish #4 had the skin sheen on the face and chest, like on the face here). The expression and pose took my breath away! The background draping is perfecto! I would suggest, if I might, cloning out the wrinkles in the foot behind the sandal strap and big toe, and burning somewhat the extended index finger stretched along the toe, it's a little incongruous. And clone out the other tips of fingers at the very bottom edge. I would also suggest bringing out the scarlet color of the drape across her breasts - at first glance it looks black - so that it flows around and across her body, as it does in #8.
My next favorite is #9. Again, the pose took my breath away. A very daring shot, and it works perfectly, without any twinge or cringe.The way the hair falls is a little strange, though, at her left temple especially, where it looks a bit mashed. That small area is the highest highlight of the image, too.
#1 is very beautiful. It needs a little more sharpness, for me, in the eyes and eyebrows to make it perfect. The posing, the lighting and the crop are brilliant.
What a great model, too.
In the majority, the face and eyes show an awareness of playing to you, kind of - "Take that, Nik! And this!" There's contact. Makes all the difference.
In most of those with the hanging drapes background, the slight bokeh is a big improvement in integrating them in the image. They work very well. #2 is the best example of this (although the missing arm is a big problem).
There are signs that you are freeing up height and position of camera in the studio, too. It can only lead to good things.
Well, I found a few words after all. But now I'll just go back to letting my jaw drop!

Thanks!

I guess it was exactly what I said it would take - get the model low, snap on a WA lens and shoot for a dangerously close distances and from the higher angle.
Poor thing was fairly wound up (if not scared) when I said - and showed - exactly *how* close I'm gonna be to her with my 10-22, esp. considering she was, uhm, not wearing much underneath that chiffon, which was a first ever for her. I guess those emotions and physical proximity kinda resulted in the "interaction" you were talking about all this time:-). Of course - it's one thing when you're in a well lit "stage" place and can't even see a guy with 200mm hiding in a dark behind a huge bright softbox, and totally another when you're lying almost naked on the floor in the darkness, under gestapo-looking pinch sharp lights and he's all over you and almost touching you with his fat ugly looking WA lens...
Anyway - I'm glad I was able to produce the results. I'll tweak a few things (like the feet wrinkles) - thanks for catching that up!
All in all, she did pretty good for a first-timer, no?
And wait for the outdoor part :-)
Nice set, as always, my favs. are 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10
Don't really care for any of the B&W, don't know why, something is missing in the conversion, i can't pin point

Thanks!
That's fine, but I had to try...:-)
Very nice work. You keep this up, and your lighting class will be sold out.

I'm trying :-)
7 and 8 were the only ones that seemed mediocre to me. All the other ones were great! Keep it up!

It's all about the moment...
Thanks!
Hey, tastes differ
LoL. 80% is a pure winner in my book. ;-)

#1 my eye keeps going right to that red dot in her eye.
#3
Not crazy about 7 and the lines in the foot.
I like #2, #5, #8.
#9 toes are missing.
#10
In 4 she looks like a different model!
