In your current collection the thing that jutted out to me was not any feminine assets but rather the angles. The angles are poor. I won't go into expression, but I think you should start with posing and how it relates to the angle of the photographer's lens. In one shot you lie on the floor and then you extend your legs up while managing to let go of your belly so that it curves up. I can shoot a model who doesn't know what she is doing as I'm good at direction. But many photographers have great difficulty with models who can't model. What are the basics?  Posing and expression. One model I worked with long ago, in a galaxy far far away, after a discussion with me, did the following, she mastered five expressions that she could turn on at will, by practicing in the mirror. She practiced posing for fifteen minutes per day if I recall correctly. She didn't have that much experience.

And if you look at her pose here, it is rather inspired. She really worked that rock: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30323971

You need to practice a lot.

Thank you for your feedback. I definitely see what you mean, and since those shoots I have been working on my expressions and posing, spending a few hours a couple nights a week just doing self-shots with a tripod. I wouldn't want to include those here, but I feel I'm working towards achieving more natural, flattering looks that I can snap into readily. Now I'm searching for another good opportunity to exercise what I've learned.
