Photographer finished editing them sooner than I expected.

Which do I use in my port, if any?

I like 1, 5, and the second 18+, which is probably my overall favorite. Also, I'm not sure either of those 18+ needs to be designated as such, IMO.

But overall, fantastic work by both you and the photographer!

I thank you all. I was wondering about the 18+ label, as well.

Posing of arms / fingers could be much improved for the arms, forearms is taking away entirely in the shots. I do like your expressions and your facial moods. Contrast for b & w is cool. Magazines may do a few impieds with two hands JUST to break up the same look but you want one arm, barely touching your skin.

Your arm isn't too bad in that most hold their arm tight tight to body saying "stay away" but I still take away nice skin tones, nice expressions and a good feeling about yourself and that's a good thing.

Love the first one, the aggressive black and white conversion in post, dappled light, mix of textures...all great.

I love the way the elements of the beach frame you here. To me, there's a natural flow from the top left to the bottom right of the image that draws your eye through the entire story.

I love the motion in this. Again, almost a narrative: On one side, aggressive and invasive. On the other, serene and calm.

The single image that speaks strongest to me is the second 18+ shot. The timing, action, and emotive reaction in your face (that looks like a real reaction to the wave) give this one punch that the others lack.
