I don't mean to be harsh but you don't seem to be paying any attention at all to your lighting.  Some of your shots are in bright sunlight, some in shade, some have shadows in weird places on the model, etc.  Slow down and watch the light before you shoot.

You are only as good as your worst shot.  Edit that thing down.  There are some definitely good ones in there.  Way too many shots to really point out highs and lows.  One low that stuck in my mind was the color one with train tracks as the background.  The lighting kills it completely.  Go back and look at your highlights.  Some of these shots have unacceptably blown highlights.  You've got to give those the boot.  Don't get sentimental.  Just get rid of them.

On the good side, you've got keepers in there.  I like punk rock girls, and I like what you've done with her.  In contrast the backgrounds are very NOT punk rock.
Sometimes the juxtaposition works, but in some shots she seems out of context with the environment.

Overall, you've got good shots.  But you do the Good shots a disservice by crowding them in with inferior shots.  Rotten apples do spoil the bunch.  Chuck the rotten ones.
