I am torn between 4 images of the same model; and would like serious feedback and ranking of the 4 images.

Detailed critiques and reasoning is preferred.

Okay!

My favorite is the second picture. I think it is not genuinely creative as I've seen similar pictures before, but I like the style and the model's expression. It is a very natural but sensual shot.

On second place I would put the first image. The lips are nice and the lolly was a great idea. Although the retouching could have been done better as it looks a little bit dull and not as quirky as it should look. And I think I would have removed the dark shadow around the eye to give it a more "awake"-look.

On the third place is the third picture. I like the pose and the scenery with the sword. I also love the red colour. Maybe I don't like so much how she holds the sword, looks a bit inattentive at the hands. And I don't like the retouching of this image. It is too blurry! I think it could have been on first place of my rating if the retouching would have been done better...

On the last place is the fourth image. The lighting is terrible, it is so overexposed! You can't even see her teeth even though she's fully smiling. Also I don't know if I like the full smile with this "lip make up". The rose in the hair just disturbs me... Should this image have a romantic, quirky or sensual look? It just doesn't fit together.

So, this is just my subjective view.

Edit:
Just saw this image:

on your profile! This is much better than the first image with the lolly you posted here. Like it!

First image is strongest. The image has impact, the lighting looks best, and the model is doing something of some interest.

Number 4 is the second best, as acceptable lighting, and expression, although not much going on in the image.

The number 3 image is next, although the lighting is pretty bad, with the arm shadow coming across the body, The back of the hand to camera, and excessive white in the eyes.

Number 3 is the worst, as the lighting isn't all that good, and the image is totally incongruous. There is no explanation of why she would be holding a sword, in the attire, nor in the image. It looks like a bad idea.
