Well the main issues with most of your photos is your editing and most of the models aren't doing anything - no expression or emotive value.

* Stop over softening the skin texture.
* Work on complimenting your images with a good tonal balance and work on your colors - make sure they compliment each other.
*Get your models to act or express and not just stare blankly.
*Better framing - try to crop at the joints if you must, try better angles.
*Lastly - plan your shoots with better concepts/ideas to create more interesting images.
*Lighting could be better.


Just keep practicing, right now you are still in noob mode. Get some books Scott Kelby for shooting - camera settings and lighting.
Linda.com for editing / frequency separation / dodge and burn

Best of luck!
