I've hit a point where I think my work is good but I would really like some constructive criticism and thoughts from others.  I really appreciate everyone's time in advance.  Thanks.

IMHO technically it looks OK but where is the "pop"?

Thanks MorningLight, but what do you mean by "pop" exactly?

looking at your port ,i think your strongest image is the one of the guy..i guess it has "pop" ..there seems more depth to it...in my view.

Thanks Snowmonkey Design.  I guess I'm not sure what people mean by pop... more facial expression by the models, more provocative poses, more skin or just a different style altogether?

I've changed a few photos around to show more of my best photos.  Any other critiques or comments?

Hi Greg!
Personally I think this photo can be removed:
https://img9.modelmayhem.com/070730/20/46ae8f1297fe6_m.jpg

It doesn't do anything for me... it looks too candid.
But that's just my opinion. ;-)

I agree. It seems like you're on the right track, but you're missing something. its all 'okay' but it lacks depth.

Thank you all for your comments.  I am still trying to take in your comments and understand what I could and should do differently.  I would appreciate any other comments and critiques, people would like to share!
