Do I need to say you are lovely and look like a model? You have 31 pictures, many of them similar. You need to edit down to 20 or less. Choose one or two of your favorites in the white dress. Make sure that we know who the subject is in the horse pictures (See W.C. Fields on sharing the stage with children and animals). You have almost the exact same expression in all of your shots. The third row shows a nice variation in styles.

This can be removed - expression here might have made it a keeper but you are not large enough in the picture

A hint of expression here makes the photo, although the reverse lightning effect of the branch is very dramatic, as is your pose.

Remove - the logo makes it cheesy and your elbow looks red and irritated. A brilliant smile might have made me ignore that.

I know high fashion models tend to be mannequins but the best ones add something.
