The first one doesn't do much for me and, at least to me, doesn't really look pinup.  Retro, yes, but not pinup.  I really love the second one though!

Not really sure which ones you are referring to, specifically, but your best image is number 16.

If you are referring to numbers 10,11, and 12, I would opt for number 12, but I really would have liked your head tilted back, and to the side a little, to get more of the face in the image.

I basically agree. However, the right leg seems somewhat awkward.

But just one worthless opinion.  smile

Are you counting from the top, making number 16 the one of me laying down in the black? Sorry if they are numbered and I'm missing it somehow.

There are no numbers.  Most of us consider the first row to be 1, 2, 3, and 4.  Second row 5, 6, etc.  So you are correct that 16 is the one lying down on your back.

This one is not working for me
Busy background and busy dress

This one is stronger
Wish the background was less dominating
You nailed this as far as the modeling, great expression

Wish you well

they're okay, not very pin up in my opinion #2 is your best though.

Not so much pin-up which imply both flirty and provocative and you totally seem to have the capability to do.

Your styling in number 1 is good but the pose and overall feel isnt pin up. Number 2 is a better pin up pose and expression (y)
