I have to say this is probably best critique thread I have seen in quite some time. helpful and positive!
So please take a look at mine. I am going to be doing some reshuffling anyway and I need to probably delete 4-5 images not just one, more focus the port rather than random collection I have now.

Thank you for the kind introduction Nirav:)
On a positive note, your port is brief, unlike the many seen here on MM. Less is more. I would like to see you use more models as currently it seems you have worked with only one. Be prepared to provide financial compensation as it is unusual for a model to be willing to do nude or implied under tfcd terms (unless you are a very experienced photographer).
You should definitely remove this one as her expression is dead and there is no unique concept to sustain the image

Your advice has proven very helpful to others and i would love to here some about my work!
Thankyou

Amanda,
your port is nice and compact showing a good range of your capabilities. I was ready to advise you not to remove anything but if you push me I would say this one as B&W does not show your makeup art well, plus you display already the same model in a better image in color.
Your AVI is captivating showing superb skills. On a slightly down side, this image seems a bit overphotoshopped. Perhaps a great image to post for the model, but for you as an MUA it makes the viewer wonder how much it's your work vs the retoucher's. Definitely do not remove it, just a thing to keep in mind in the future.
This image is beautiful and great to post on FB or send to your mom. However, I do not see the point to show it in your MM portfolio. Plus you already have two variants posted. Violation of rule [2] in my original post
Ditto for this one
I like your natural beauty, location and colors here
I fly from US to China about once a year and often the flight path takes me over Novosibirsk. Next time I fly over, I will pause for a minute and smile as I will be thinking of a pretty girl on MM that lives down below
You are a newbie on MM so I understand you did not have achance to work with many photographers. I recommend you get together with few more photographers to get few diverse styles.
You could delete the following as these images are no much different from others.
I also recommend removing this one as it violates rule [5] in my original post (negative theme)
I love this image for your captivating expression and the cutness of the little beast you are holding I am wondering what kind of animal is it?
This one, as several other images, has great light and is super alluring.
Thank you so much for warm answer, I'm very glad to hear this! I will change my port soon ) Thank you! If once you would like to come - welcome to Siberia )

I suggest deleting this one AND its twin image for two reasons
- Violation of my guideline [2] AVOID VARIANT IMAGES
- Violation of guideline [7] DELETE IMAGES WITH POOR POSE OR EXPRESSION - in this case you are just smiling and I dont discern any unique concept
Here is one of your best and worst images at the same time. I love her expression but I find her left hand somewhat creepy to the point of being distracting. I would propose cropping the image just above her hand to focus on the portrait itself.
Overall your work is superb, the image below is one of my favorites for it beauty, expression, pose and cinematographic quality
I think you ought to get rid of all arielredblue images. They just seem too weird for my taste and they dont do justice to your beauty.
It seems like you are just starting out modelling so your portfolio is at a very beginning stage. I encourage you to seek more experienced photographers to work with.
This image shows your beauty quite well. Your pose and expression are very alluring. Good luck, I know you will do well.
You are showing seven images of Jynxie. Are you "testing" them out with the audience? I am not fan of that. Pick the image that YOU like and stick to it. Even though the model is gorgeous, delete all of them except one. The first one that ought to go is this one for contived pose and expression.
My favorite (among many in your port) is this B&W for the model's beauty, location and tonality. I did actually comment on this photo few months back. Great job.

I propose not deleting any photos as your port is compact and at the same time diversified. Your expressions are captivating and your wardrobe is unique. You display well both your face and form. But if you push me I would say delete this image as there are two better variants of the same theme.
Even though a bit over-photoshoped, I really like this image for your expression and a great display of your beautiful face, and body art

When you posted your question yesterday I did not care for your AVI. Not bad enough image to delete, just not a great AVI image But before I had a chance to reply I am pleased you read my mind and changed the AVI:)
I suggest deleting your collage for lack of interesting expression.
My favorite one is this for so nicely displaying your curves and for your cativating expression. Great job.
Remove this one as your friend is offering sort of a dumb smile plus you posted another similar image with him.
Also remove this one for same reason - your weak smile and because you posted a twin image.
Most importantly, delete ALL your motorcycle images as they do not add any value to your port whatsoever. If you are attached to this theme at all, then keep only one.
Great pose, expression and pleasing slanted lines here:
