Hi Geoff;

You got two that I really love..

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/121129/23/50b86379af272_m.jpg

The lighting and composition just wonderful.. I'm a sucker for dramatic lighting.

and this one:

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120912/22/50516eb52559d_m.jpg

It tells a great story, I image: "she gets what's she wants"..
The lighting and colors really make it a winner. IMO.

I am a fan of this one. The lighting, composition, and over all styling really appeal to me!

I agree with this one ^^^

For you, I like your profile pic the best. Great angle, interesting pespective and your eyes catch my eyes and hold them.

I also find this one deliciously weird (in a good way!)

love the setting plus lighting all make this visually pleasing, well done

Thanks! Believe it or not the background on this one is photoshopped. It was a white wall with a framed Ikea photo on it. I had a MM retoucher/DA nail it for me.

For you, I like this one:

I'm torn on whether I want to know why she is there and what she is doing or if I want to be there with her. I feel like part of the story on this. Any photo that makes me think this much is a good shot in my book!

Thanks!

It's unfair of you to ask me to pick one of your photos so I'm going to pick a couple.

The back ground, your pose, this dress, the lighting... I love this:

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/121129/13/50b7d2fcad8ee_m.jpg

Ditto on this:

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/121120/16/50ac1e6feba05_m.jpg

But this might be my favorite, and not just because it has a Lord of the Rings reference. Great lighting, great expression, and the negative space is interesting.

You don't have a lot to choose from right now. I think you have a great look and I hope that you hook up with a good photographer to harness your beauty. If I have to pick from what you have now I choose this one. It tells the best story, is reasonably well lit and your eyes are sharp.

I love this shot of you. It's one of the few shots that grabs your face and sculpts it with light. Great shadow along the cheek line and I find myself curious as to what you are looking at.

I think this is by far the best.

The lighting is perfect. Her skin just glistens, while her expression is captivating and intimate. I like the composition. Everything just fits together nicely.

Definitely....

My favorite of yours is this

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/121006/01/506fed58a2b1c_m.jpg

Mainly due to the nice depth/bokeh.

It seems to tell a story and that always works for me. Love it

Looking forward to your return pick :-)

And...

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/121125/21/50b2f7b890182_m.jpg

The second one would be my clear number one choice for you if your face wasn't over exposed. Still, it's a cool shot and I like the light in your hair.

I like this one for you. The light set up is really cool and I like that this could be fitness or fashion. It kind of walks a line.

I like the concept of this shoot and I love you in it. I think you emote really well. I wish you were a little longer as your pose collapses your body a bit but outside of that you look amazing!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/2863912#30858347

I feel like my first answer was kind of crappy. All of your photos are really good, but the deal was for me to pick my favorite(s).

I don't know why, but I find this one intriguing. Even though I can't see her face there's a story there and I'm dying to know what happens next.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120831/21/50418c04710d2_m.jpg

But I think my fav is this one. Nice light, engaging eyes and great negative space.
