Profile usefulness: "Not interested in mass FR. You will be denied. I don't really care if you want 359,532 friends. I accept people local to me and profiles that I find inspiring and incredible.  " Not friendly attitude, You don't need to alienate people who is visiting your port. MM is a social site.
Your Skill level: Beginner
Pluses: Young
Your money shot: none, all your photos either lack dynamic range, or are either too bright or unbalanced both in bw and color. Since this is a model port I really don't care. Nothing there that wows me.

First impressions: a mishmash; some nice, some spooky, some GWC, some à la naturelle big_smile even some artistic takes.
Profile usefulness: Elaborate
Your Skill level: Experienced prosumer level
Your Creativity: You are model driven.
Your Work focus: motivated by generous female curves and genitalia. (with some exceptions)
Next Step: You like to capture the female form, but If you add some humor to your work improve your natural and artificial light skills everything will  come across better.
Verdict: Don't be trivial, add sophistication and real glamor. Some plus size models don't look their best in your port. Some photos need some tender loving care with photo shop.
Nothing to list at this time.
