I really like the photos and there is a good lesson in posing revealed here as well.

Pic #1 & 2: Look how much thinner she appears in #2 just by turning the head and torso a bit. Much better than #1.

Pic #3 & 4: Same thing. By not looking straight at the camera (we aren't taking mug shots afterall) she has more flow in the shape of her body and this all contributes to #4 being a better photo.

Good job!

#2 & #3 are excellent. Reeeeeally nice. Wish I could see a bit more catchlight in her eyes in #2.

the lack of catchlights is a minus

some very nice shots here and a great model. I agree that her pose on #1 isnt that flattering and while I love hairlights/rim lighting, it doesn't work in #2 for me. with her up against the wall, it is just too unnatural for my taste (found myself saying where could taht light possibly be coming from?). I really like the pose and expression on #3 but would dial down your strobe power on the hairlights just a touch.

I like #1 to #3; #3 is my fav. Especially the pose.

Lady looks pretty as well.

Hairlights are a little strong, they should separate without making her hair totally glow. I agree with Naturalist on the first two, but not on the second set. In #3 she is a bit square to the camera, but looking down in an unnatural pose isnt better in #4. Nice set though, Keep posting
