Feedback? In all honesty I think you have the best artistic body on MM. By far! And that you shoot with photographers that can show and magnify that body is at time breathtaking. you newer shots are simply a work of art. Plain and simple. Kudos to both you and the photographer!

I am a sucker for the out of ordinary and your Chair photo and the Instrumental one are my favorites. Not only for the brilliant compositions but for how you used your figure to display emotion and power.... [sigh] just fantastic and beautiful.
Honorable mentions go to the Suncrawler shot (just a Gorgeous display of your total figure) and the Warmth for it's classiness, mood and light on you.
I too am sorry to hear that you are booked for your LA trip, really hope to work with you one day!

I'd love to work with you. I'm currently working on extending that trip by about a week, so I'll keep you posted, maybe we can make something happen.

The first one (in the chair) and the sixth one (the ballet shot) seem awkward to me. In the first one, both of your legs go missing. In the sixth one, your left foot is hidden behind your hands. I think that hiding body parts in a shot like either of these hurts the image a little bit. I'm also struggling a little bit with how your body looks when you are tensed this way. With both of these shots, my first impression is that your ribcage is showing. On looking more closely, I realize that I'm not seeing ribs but am seeing the muscle tone of an incredibly trained body. Your body can make good art, but someone will have to look closely to see that you aren't just a model who is too thin. I believe in looking closely at every shot in a portfolio to learn all I can about a model, but if you are trying to catch people with first impressions, you might want to move these to less prominent positions. Again, both are great art from my perspective (except for the missing feet).
The eighth one, captioned "Sultry" is a great picture for capturing a sultry mood. You and the photographer did a beautiful job on that one. I see that one as more of glamor shot, but I like that one very much.
The one with the tuba is a great artistic nude. If I were the photographer, I might have taken some of the scratches off the background in post processing, but the shot is still great. Maybe I'd even be wrong to remove those scratches.
The morning light shot in the field is also a great artistic nude shot. I'd love to have taken a picture like that.
The suncrawler shot is very sexy. I think of that kind of shot as being as much Playboy style as art, but I still love that kind of shot. If you're going for "hot," you succeeded.
To me, the third and fourth ones are just perfect nudes. They show that you have a beautiful face and beautiful body. They show the grace of the female form. They could fit as glamor or art in my opinion.
Overall, I would be happy if I had taken any of these pictures. I've been trying to grow in other areas before doing more nudes right now, but I would love to have taken these pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Had I seen this back in my single days before kids I think I would have decorated my apartment around a single large print of this image. Lovely, sexy...and it has a Euphonium too! Dreams do come true.
Thank you, that image is definitely one of my new favorites.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed critique! I occasionally get comments about being too thin as you mentioned, but it's simply not true, and it's not something I can really control. In the two pictures you mentioned, the poses really bring out the bone and muscle, but for those that take the time to look at the rest of my images, they will see that when my muscles are not tense, I don't look too thin, and I have adequate meat/fat on my bones as shown here: http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pi … #28916194.
Overall, I'm so glad you liked most of the images, and thanks again for taking the time to write a critique.
The chair shot is great but it looks like you don't have any legs below the knee. I just wish your calves/feet were showing a little bit. If that were the case, it would be stellar. #4 is a beautiful soft image.
My only problem with your portfolio as a whole is that my name is no where in there. :'(

Yeah, some people don't like the fact that my legs aren't showing in #1......my legs aren't one of my better features though, so it doesn't bother me too much.

I don't know what you mean about your legs. From what I've seen of them they are quite fetching.
