I like the set but this is my least favorite. For me the eyes look too big but her pupil/iris seem too small. Maybe lower the eye level just a bit so she isn't looking up so high?

Yeah, her mouth sort of goes that way. Obviously as you said the angle probably emphasised it!

I guess what it looks like is the corners of her mouth were squeezed inwards a bit and her left cheek in turn looks mildly swollen?
Kinda' like someone with a swollen mouth from a tooth extraction.
Maybe my eyes are just getting too old - lol.

I do agree about her eyes though - amazing!

While i feel the lighting and photography is excellent, I don't care for the pose or the look on her face. Her right foot and leg are at awkward angles and she looks bored. The model doesn't seem to have a good grasp at posing

I like the overall pose ... but I think her face is just a little too "straight on" to the camera.

This one is my favorite. The pose, the lighting, the look in her eyes, that smile, the wind blown hair, the blue background to complement the foreground color. All are very well put together.

Can I add just one nit though? I think there's a touch of yellow on her teeth that is marring an otherwise beautiful smile. Selective desat there would fix it (you could lighten too, but not very much).

I dunno... if I wasn't married, I think I'd fall in love with those eyes. Nice shot! :-)

Not sure what Brad is seeing, I really like the pose here, but I trust his opinion a lot, so take my praise with a grain of salt.

I love the over-the-shoulder look. The shadow from the hair in front of her right eye is a little distracting, but otherwise she is well lit. Nice smile! :-)

Lovely eyes. The tilt of her head works perfectly to highlight her eyes. There's just a hint of red in the whites of her eyes, you might want to selectively desat them just a bit. Love the hair light and the blown hair look. The long crop with the necklace is captivating. Really pretty girl. :-)
