Unless there is a compelling story line, I disapprove of composites as they confuse the viewer. Pick the best image of the series and post that one only. MM is about photography (still images) not movie making. The only clear benefit to post composites would be for MUA's or retouchers to show before/after effect.
Here is a beautiful profile and the motnotone provides a nice ambiance. Great embryonic port overall.
Here is just a pretty naked girl posing with no unique concept. Yea, the photography is good (light , contrast), but no unique concept behind. Of the 7000 viewers only 7 commented, which means only 1 in 1000 viewers liked it enough to leave a note.

Always great to get second opinions on what you do.
Once you get more images into your port, delete this image as one can see neither your face , nor your body. Also delete the one to the left.
I would say your best image so far is this one showing your handsome face. Aslo the image to the right is to keep
In the future, I encourage you to shoot non- guitar images for diversity and use only the very best photographers, even if it means spending some money for your first professional shoot. Its a worthwhile investment if you are serious about staying in this business.

Delete all MedievalIce images (except the purple dress, which I love). While the setting is great, a standing pose is not the best way to display large boobs like yours as they are bound to droop. If you want to show your bare breasts, do so in a laying position. The results will be very alluring. Similar position like the photo with the purple dress would be ideal
This photo is ok, but its just one step above from a snapshot. THe background is blurry yet enough seen to confuse - is it perhaps a cemetery? Just delete it.
This portrait is truly gorgeous, including the model, her downright glance and the light.

This nude one does not stand out as you offer similar expression like in several other photos, plus you have another, better composed image from the same stairell scene. If I were to advise one thing for you that would be to work on a wider range of emotive expressions as you develop your port.
Your entire top row ought to go as the girls just stand there and smile. This particular one's smile is most visibly contrived. Ddi you tell her to say cheese ?
Your AVI is your best image as it is captivating and there is an attempt to offer a concept. Keep experimenting.

But sure, i would love to know
Congratulations Becki. Yours just got selected as poster child of poorly constructed ports. Your portfolio in its current form is like a flower garden needing intense tender loving care to rid it of overgrown bushes and its encroaching weeds. The good news is that some basic trimming and weeding can clean it up to expose some of its gems and offer visitors a positive viewing experience.
There are plenty such ports on MM which are easy to clean up through some simple remedies which is the main topic of this blog. The key principles, discussed before, are as follows:
1. Clean up the duplicates and variations of the same shoot, including
2. Get rid of composites
This is a good example, but there are a few more
3. Get rid of ALL old images that have low comment-to-view ratio. For example, this one had 293 views and only one comment (incidentally from a marginal photographer) meaning 292 people rejected it. I also hate car pictures.
I propose trimming your port by at least 50% (leave no more than 30 images) helping to expose your port's gems and increase its value by 200%. Here are some of your images that shine:

Unlike your other images, this one is amateurish so get rid of it. I know your intent was to highlight your interest in fitness modelling, but you need to maintain certain minimum standards of photography which this image does not meet. I suggest in the future you create a snowboarding scene with some action as well. BTW I am an avid snowboarder myself
I would also suggest getting rid of one or two of your flowered dress images as you posted too many. One more thing...in half your images you pose with your hands up. Dont do this in the future as contrived poses are annoying.
Love your pose, flowing hair and artistic rendering here:
I've not been able to update with my latest professional jobs yet, so when I do I'll definitely be wanting to delete a lot of my current portfolio. As such, I'd love your opinion!
Hey Ms Cupcake. First I would suggest removing "Couture" from your name because it makes things confusing. Couture indicates you are a wardrobe stylist, however it is apparent from your port that you are a model. Thus I will critique you as a model only.
I would not suggest deleting any image as your port is compact, showing diverse styles and the photography is quite decent. But if you insist I would say this one is your weakest as it does not show any of your strong points.
This one is my fave for its wardrobe, setting and POV and so is your nude photo for featuring your gorgeous body art.

While the photography is good, your first 6 images offer the same expression. At the least, delete this one:
Also delete this one as it show absolutely nothing of value (unless you want to be a hands model)
