Please take a look at my work and give me harsh critique.  I've never really gotten any and would really enjoy professional thoughts and ideas.

Thank you for your time.

You have some interesting work that is getting somewhat lost in a port that swings wildly from genre to genre. 

The bad - not a fan of the glamor/pinup work.  It's not necessarily worse than a lot of that genre that gets posted here but it does not bring anything new and the connection with the model in those photos seems forced or non-existent.  If that makes any sense?

The good - I like your use of harder, harsher light in some of the images and the corresponding post processing work.  And some of the images show a good break from convention by using things like negative space.

So I think right now your best work leans towards the darker/moody stuff and maybe exploring that further will suit you well.  They may not get the most attention from the flesh-starved commentators but hey, I guess it depends on what you like to do smile

Details
Looking at models right foot, part of the shoe is missing because of the material on the floor hiding part of the shoe
Size wise the left foot looks over twice as big as the right, due to lens selection
Look at models toe nails on her left foot, the polish is missing in places
What are the brown or dark spots on left foot? Photoshop could fix them
Too much back tilt of head we are looking up her nose which is not one of the most flattering angles
Move hair behind models left shoulder this will open up her neck
Left arm quite straight, due to pose you are wrinkling up the skin on back side on wrist

Wish you well
