A very nice study with tender lighting and nice background. The model's expression has the innocense that is not always present in these types of shots. Bumping to 7

very nice and very well lit. This kind of effect also lends itself to a sepia, where it becomes a knockout. Try it. Bumping to 7

A very good classic pose, but I would have worked the color to reduce the red. Yet, as is you get a 7 for good composition.

Very nice with this near high key look. The model looks sweet and the gaze aids the presentation. The hair is just adorable and the shooting angle on the money. Bumping to 7

This is a classic pose and the selection for sepia gives it more character. There is one minor problem with the angle of the light and its distribution. This is very common with single lights. Look at the knee and the eye receives no help to discern the detail of the joint and the patella. This is solved by gently moving the light slightly about to find the best form. If it is a self portrait then you chalk-up your sitting place and rotate slightly for each take. You may need 20 or 30.
Bumping to 7 because the composition is superb.
