For me, this one has a model that doesn't look comfortable, with very flat lighting and my eye is not sure where to go. It will score big, no doubt, for anyone with a thing for feet, but apart from that it doesn't 'pop' the way most of your stuff does... https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31111675 I love this shot (and the model), but the crop seems forced to me. Would have loved to see her just a little closer to the centre (just a touch)... https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30680120 You have a lot of good photos, but - for me - this one captures the pure GORGEOUSNESS of the model... https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28888321 Overall, you have obvious skill, and eye and a rapport with the models... The only thing I'd change in many of them is the crop... But that's SO much to do with personal taste - please feel free to ignore me :-)

All your photos are great, but this one just isn't as interesting to me as the others: I think this is one of your best: My eye was drawn to it right away!

Thanks, I would like to add some color to my lips on this and brighten my eyes. A photographer did it and it looked great but I can't upload from my iPad.

You're not the first to mention my cropping technique. I'm working on it though, lol. Your port was a pleasure to browse through. (Half cup of coffee) I love this shot:

I'll play. You have some good stuff in your portfolio, but there are also some that, while they aren't awful, don't seem to belong in the same portfolio with your best. In this one, the model looks pretty enough. I just don't get the point of the photo. The cropping of this one looks strange to me, but like I said, it isn't awful. This one isn't awful, either, but it's a split profile, and it isn't very flattering to the model. Also, I would have turned the camera a little more to the left to get the model a little farther from the center of the photo (to the right). I hesitate to mentions it though, because if it were a nude, someone would just print it in black and white and submit it to a gallery.

Thanks for the feedback. Your port is awesome. Spent some quality time roaming around. This is my favorite:

A lot are close, but this one nails all the areas and has the dark mysterious sensibility I enjoy in art:

This would be the least of the bunch: The background's color and vibrancy distracts from the model. Most of your work is solid though. Really like the dark textured material.

This is my pick for least favorite: because of the smile and squinty eyes. Just doesn't seem to fit. But just one worthless opinion.

There is something in most all your shots that I like whether it is the location, lighting, pose, or emotion shown. This ones background with the brightness does seem to take the attention from the model.... https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31067775#

Probably this one, she just looks uncomfortable and not like she did it on purpose (posing). It seems a bit off in my humble opinion

I find you include a high number of expressive poses. This one didn't capture me with equal passion:

I also think this one should go. it's a little bit muddy, a little unsharp, i'm losing her in the busyness of the background, and she doesn't look like a "model" but is wearing a fairly provocative top. She looks like a high school senior trying to "sex it up", and it just feels a little inappropriate.
