Not sure I like the 'yellow' tinge to the light, particularly on her shoulder.

Had a look at your page, some very pretty women on there :D

Well I do not see much "wrong" with the lighting -- although it is a bit cold.

But the issue for me is what kind of reaction are you trying to stir.
Your shots seem to carry a hint of "boudoir". If that is you aim you may have succeeded. For example, this shot of Laura lets us share the cleavage, although there is distortion in the upward twist of her face, and the too-close-for-comfort view of her makeup.

I prefer Laura 3. It is clean and close - but perhaps a bit cold (lighting).
But these women ought be photographed so as to convey more youthful exuberance. Life's a ball. Let's see them dance. Anyway that is what I think.
