What can go? This one... I'm not a fan of collages. I think they are generally collections of so-so images, and the strong images are diluted by the weaker images. In this collage, I don't think there is a stand alone image, and the collage doesn't improve any of them. BTW, Please change your avatar. In thumbnail size it's hard to figure out what it is. Okay, you've been bitten by the 'back light flare is cool' bug. You'll get over it. But in the meantime, folks will be skipping over your portfolio because they can't immediately sort out your avatar. Just my opinion.

I love your work! I honestly wouldn't get rid of anything, but if I absolutely HAD to choose, I would get rid of this one. I can't pinpoint why exactly, I just don't care for it. EDIT: Maybe it's the outfit, fur coat & high-waisted pants.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23472537 I would have to say this one, as it meshes the least with your natural happy sunlit style. If you're going to do something that is sticking out, is has to be spectacular, and this one just isn't in my opinion. It looks a little contrived, I'm not really sure about the tones, the comp and the few fingers in the upper corner, and the expression doesn't engage. Feel free to stab back at me .

Thank you, You know those fingers in the upper corner, is probably the reason why i never completely fell in love with that photo. Your portfolio is wonderful, of course. I have seen your work before. What a beauty. I love the emotion in this 18+ https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/0 … 77f9a6.jpg Out of your whole portfolio, there is really only photo that didn't really care for I can't really pinpoint a reason why, i just think the rest of your portfolio is far better

For me these are your strongest images Would be more about the model if you crop this to a square format [Remove some of the top of photo] Wish eyes were not blocked by hair Like the story line behind these images You do have a flair for photography

Love these two Not a fan of this Nothing wrong with it technically, love the colours and that, it's just that his smile seems very forced, which isn't a good look. If you could let me know best and worst too that'd be awesome

This is my least favorite - https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27343356 Not bad technically, just kinda boring. I also think on your avatar shot the model has a slightly strained expression. Love what you did with the tree branches and the light, her face could just be better. Maybe you have another one from that shoot where she looks more at ease? Best to you
