I've been a professional judge for photo competitions for many decades. I teach professional photographers at workshops, photo schools and seminars. I also teach models how to pose. So if you want honest feedback, I will pick out your best and/or your worst. If you want to know why, I'll let you know my reasoning.
If I really like your work, I'll comment and list it. But I'm hard to impress. You can look through my port and lists to see what I think has merit.
I wish you much success!
PLEASE NOTE: I am looking for artistic merit and commercial value in the images. While I enjoy creative and artistic nudes, I will pass without comment on portfolios that simply put models on display without trying to highlight the model's beauty.
It might take me awhile to get to you, as the write-ups take a bit of time and my photography work keeps me busy. I am working my way them. Top of Pg 13.

Shows your face and form well. Both of which are good and have potential. I would suggest working in this direction, but minus the weapon.
Your worst: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/11490093
Hides your face and is a candid shot. Fine for family, but not in a model portfolio.
My suggestion: You've got the height and figure to make it in this industry. Your face is fine and could look fantastic with a high quality makeup job. You auburn hair is also an asset. The longer you grow it, the more people will want to create elaborate shots using it. The money is in high fashion, not casual shots.
Seek out photographers with more experience, who have high quality portfolios to get some refined shots that flatter your height and form. Volunteer to be the face for MUAs you admire. With hustle, grit and determination, you will find opportunities with quality photographers and could build a great port!
Much success, Michael

Love to hear your opinion... It's difficult to pick the best and worst from your port, because you have not decided what direction you want to take. There are things in your port that various people will like.
If you are doing it for fun, your port is fine. If you are doing it for business, you need to focus on what direction you want to take to make your money, because buyers will be turned off by things that they don't like.
No matter what direction you take, focus more on composition. Composition is what makes or breaks an image.
Much success,
Michael

The pose, the model's outfit and her expression make this your strongest photo.
Your worst:

The photo conveys no meaning, it's just there. Photographing men is very different from photographing women. The lighting, posing, makeup, styling, everything must be different.
To improve your portfolio, take time to study lighting and posing. Don't expect the model to know how to pose. It's the photographer that is looking in the camera that directs the model.
Much success,
Michael
