I just wish it had this mood -

Worst - I don't think this one helps your port any.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120131/22/4f28d539d18d6_m.jpg

Try to narrow down your port and only show your best shot from each shoot. I know it is HARD, but it will make you look much better. Or, just make sure they look drastically different.

Close 2nd - would have had it if the comp was better.

Worst - The pose is very bunched due to the view point and my least favorite style of what you have up.

Work in bringing more moods to your shoots or showing more moods on your port. I think that will help you a lot.

Punch up your moods, there seems to be only one mood in your port. Concentrate on setting a mood with your eyes too. (smile with your eyes - seduce with your eyes) - Your face will follow suit. Ha!! Practice in the mirror, or with a cell phone that has a lens on the screen side. Try to take 10 drastically different expressions and master them for photoshoots.

Worst - I get that you wanted to show the palm trees, but I don't think it helps sell this look. Your other ones from this set are much better comps.

Worst - This styling needs to have a background that helps tell the story - the solid black BG takes away from how cute this shot is.

Try to step away from combining your shots. Show your strongest work as a stand alone photo. It will help the single photo (and you) appear more strong. I was very in to collages, but I noticed they never would get a great comment to view ratio. People started recommending to me to cut them out and only show my strongest shots. So, I have been working on purging them. It is hard, but I can tell a huge difference.

You have a large gallery so it's hard to choose but this is my favorite
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25484269
good composition, wonderful styling/model and I love the way the dress is surrounding her, stunning.

This is my least favorite
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25484269
The pose is very awkward, the outfit isn't my favorite, and such a wide angle really isn't great for portrait photography.  Maybe if it was less wide, a different pose and you really made the image pop with post but still just not your best.

I'd love to know what you think is best and worst in my port.
