I finally have some new work up and would love to know what old work should I pitch out of my portfolio.

Any insight or suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you so much in advance.

These are both beautiful. If you are going to keep one, just keep one.
To me they are more landscape images than model images.
Did you take any closer shots of the model?
You might lose the majesty of the landscape but the light is beautiful for a model as well.

Thank you kindly, I think you are right.  I only did a few distance shots, it was not a full shoot and the wind was insane.

Maybe this?

It doesn't seem to match the artistic style of most of your other work.

Also -- and I know this got 24 comments -- I'd pitch the bridal gown image. To me it's just not nearly as good as so many other images I've seen of that type.  And, again, doesn't seem to 'belong' with your other work. (Unless you're looking to try to pitch wedding photography here, on Model Mayhem...)

Thank you! Good call, I removed it.
