I would really like for honest and specific critiques. What I should add, take out, my current shots, etc...please and thank you!!

Serious critique is not the greatest place to get lists of images to keep or toss.  That's really more for regular critique.   Serious critique is about what's wrong with your images.  Once you know that, you can hopefully figure out which images to get rid of.


It's amazing how often I disagree with how well received I think images should be.   This image isn't really emotive to me.  Part of the issue, is the poor capture quality (focus, hot spots), but it just isn't feeling real to me.


The image also looks very 2D to me like you've been super-imposed onto a background.  From your side, the pose is not very strong.  Not a big enough 'S' to be interesting.  The forward shoulder and knee are hurting the balance and look a big strange. 


I like this natural image which shows your shape and skin.   The pose is much better than the should forward from the previous.


Generally shooting up the nose is a bad thing.  The super smooth skin looks fake.   The baggy shirt causes you to loose your shape.  The expression has to meaning for me.  While you got away with it in this image, watch your hands.  If they are the closest thing to the camera (especially on a shorter lens), this will look disproportionately large.
