My only suggestion is not to have the model so square to the camera. Angle her a bit. Overall a nice job!

First of all #3 and #4 I like. Two questions
1) What kind of feeling did she want from these pictures
2) Were #1 and #2 taken early in the shoot it seems like your connection to the subject/model was not quite established yet.

I'm loving the colour combinations on No 4. As monkeycoder says she looks like she still has some nerves in the first two.

Isn't it nice to have a beautiful woman down the street who wants her photo taken? I wish I were that lucky. ;-)

In gerneral, the two catchlights in her eyes are distracting for me. I am in the group that likes one catch light. I would PS one of them out.

The overhead light is casting a shadow straight down causing a triangular shadow under her nose and bottom lip.

It also appears that one light might be over the camera pointing straight are her making her face seem flat.

In the last photo it appears that you used a green gel as a hair highlight. I like it as it complements the tie.

The ear rings are a nice touch in all the photos.

Thanks for sharing.
