I'll go... It looks like fun and I need an excuse to fake rant. I am rating your website as I don't understand how that and this port are from the same person.

Throw me in the pot if you like.
Obviously, any ranking is subjective. I usually stay out of the critique section because most comments are more about a photographer's style and genre than his execution of it. For example, most explicit nudes do little for me, even if executed well. Makes it impossible to do a fair critique.
Hope you are having fun. It does seem your comments tell us as much about you as they do about the photographers and models.

I think MyrnaByrna is ranked too high (no offense to her) while she has some shots that are great she is not consistent I feel a few models under her are better expression wise IMO Also Dan K can you be with cookies?? JK lol

Cookies might work. You won't know until you try.

I live in a model rich city and have taken advantage of that ..Among the models i have done creatives with - one went on to become a supermodel , another went on to become a Playmate of the Year ( in Italy ) and I am currently in discussions to do a shoot with our reigning Miss Canada Universe ( though I really should have shot with her 7 yrs ago when I first met her ( too many models ...to little time
I have very much appreciated the quailty of models available and interested in shooting with me

Because most people perusing about these forums know the both of you and which is more butthurt.
You are definitely the most butthurt.
Really proud of you for having purchased lighting, though, I guess.

Nothing, yet I would welcome the award. I like awards. The only photography related award I've ever received was Best Print in Show at the Ventura County fair in 1982. I was 17

(rant about ranking to follow) I ranked this one http://brooksayola.com/ in conjunction with your port.
interestingly now looking at this one I would have ranked you higher if I started here http://ayola.com/
Your ranking would be much lower if it was just your port.

So! Put me higher because I'm about to blow out a full fledged fake rant about being at number 18!!

18th? F'ing 18TH!!??!!??
Well, since my mother has always told me that I'm the best photographer in THE WORLD, I had to look at the "ports" of the people you put ABOVE ME!!!
No surprise there. EVERY SINGLE ONE has girls with their legs spread open (or crossed) for the WHOLE WORLD to see! SO, I guess if you're not a total pervert, then you can't make it above number 18 in your stupid little list!! Is that it?!?!?!?
...aaand scene.
Oh, and if you read my profile, you'll see that you ranking me lower because of my "port" is damn funny.

I knew it was time to clean out my port and had been putting it off. I cut it down to 1/3 of what was in there a few days ago.
Since you have had a little time to mull it over I would like to know what you think now that some of the trash has been hauled out.
I would like to know where I stand. I want to get better and can't do that without knowing where I am today and what needs to be done to improve.
I will try to come up with a good butthurt if you put in there. Although I am not very good at complaining. Much better now.

thank you, i am in mid 20s, i think the top photogs are all rated very highly but in different markets so it can be hard to specifically rate them in an order, but i think for the most part your list is very accurate... maybe another thing to do would be to section them off on a rating of 10, because i think many of the top ten or even more are all 9.9 to 10 ratings, and you may appear 15th on the list but still be VERY strong in your own areas... might be a great way to add a bit more detail to the list

Much better now. Thank you Dan. I can't even fake a butthurt for the ranking you gave me. I did hurt my back trying to do a back flip though. Does that count?
My goal now is to move up the ranks. Neil is probably safe at the top though.
