Hi Jacinta,

I like the two mandatory bikini shots despite the purple legs. The wild frizzy hair looks cool.

The reason your legs turn purple is due to lack of blood flow to the skin. Two suggestions to help before or during a shoot: Rub your thighs up and down with your hands for a few minutes, this help circulate the blood and the friction helps generate a little heat or have a small hair dryer close by will also help. They sound weird but they work.

And you look great with the boobs you have!! Hope this helps.

I love the one against the brick wall.  The red shot is very cool, though it seems the red is too strong, and obscures the beautiful tangle of bodies, which in my opinion is the art of the photo.

Of course, my opinion + one US dollar will get you about a half liter of gas here in the states

I think, The "I like the pretty colours and I like not smiling, shot" is one of your best as well as the one of you in the white dress. A great improvement from the last shots. Keep up the good work! big_smile

I don't think you're doing anything "wrong", it's just that your inexperience is showing.

Stop fretting over your body, you're perfect. Start putting passion into your work, stop "posing" and start "being"... immerse yourself in the fantasy. Physically, you're there, emotionally, you're detached.

A pretty girl will get a glance but a mysterious soul will grab attention.

I am not sure if you want a crit. on everything or just the new ones.
SO, that being said.
Your headshot, the avatar should be on your comp card.  Is it on the front?  If not, your agency should re-do them.  There is no shot on it that really shows what you look like.
And the shots with the geometric halter top need to be redone or let go of.  A shot where your face is a different color from your body is unacceptable on a comp card, not to mention your portfolio.
The shots of you in the bikini are good, but the purple legs have GOT to go.  It looks bad.  Almost every model I have ever worked with goes purple in the studio.  You should have had body makeup or the photographer should fix this.  It is just bad.  And excusing yourself for it does not make a difference.  Make the photographer retouch.
I think you have a strong book, if you make these changes.
Your headshot is beautiful.
The red shot is cool.

Your shots are definitely upgraded. It's good to see the improvement. When it becomes 2nd nature, you're going to be flammable. I'd like to see more expression and fluidity. Your hard posing is still timid and your sexiness is mostly external, presently. The time is coming though.
