The first one is nice, I like it's eye-portrait composition, but the hair really makes it. It's adds some chaos and mystery to it.

The third one is my favorite. I like the composition of her and how the light hits her face (the triangle of light on the left cheek made by the nose and cheek).

The second is good, too. I don't have a lot to say on it though...

#1 is very nicely contrasted, and black and white works well for it, but it's really unoriginal. There are so many "hair in the face" shots out there =(

#2 is overexposed and would be better if your model's hair wasn't in her face. I'm also not really fond of the composition... you cut off her finger on the left side and her foot on the right. It would be better if all of your model had been kept in the frame. This could be achieved by getting her to move her hand just slightly to the right and moving her leg back a little instead of quite so far to the side.

The crop on #3 is a bit too tight, loosen it up a little by taking a step or two back and then taking the shot. Again, brush that one little hair out of her eye, and it expose it just a little bit less, and you've got gold.

This model is really talented, I hope you get a chance to shoot with her again.

dig the first one - the dramatic eye framed by the windswept and chaotic hair really creates a sense of tension. I feel her could be brightened up a bit though. Right now it feels muddy to me. Also, try dodging around the highlights a tad in the eye to really make it pop.

Love the dramatic, aggressive pose in the second. However, I feel as if the model is getting lost in the sea of highlights - everything is just so bright. This takes away a lot of the drama.

The last has an excellent pose that conveys to me a sort of dejected passive-aggression. But again i see a lot of highlights. This would work excellently, i think, if only there were a few more shadows to balance it out.

I love the first one. There's an intensity in her eyes. Though I think it would have been better in a portrait-style crop instead of landscape.

I'm not too keen on the other two. confused

I don't agree... I think the hair-in-the-face is kinda the model's look, and I like it...

But talking about the photos, I like the first one. The make up gives it a bit of strengh and I think it's a good shot.

In #2, her leg going to the left bothers me, and #3 has nothing that calls my attention...

BUT... It's a good work for just being a "fool around" set =P

I think they're all very lovely. Definitely model-oriented, but artistic.

I LOVE the hair in the first one.. I'm always drawn to shots like that and the contrast is so crisp I can really see the detail in the hair, which makes it all the better.

I think the pose in the second is perfect.. I do some yoga and I've always admired quirky positions for photographs. It's very strong and the positioning looks intentional, not random.. very powerful.

The third is beautiful, as well.

I'd love to see these just a little bit larger, though...
