placement of the hand is a bit distracting for me, but I think the composition needs something there, so I can see why you might have deliberately put your hand there.

I wonder if they know I'm not wearing any pants ...

great expression on your face..I was thinking to myself "I wonder what he's thinking.." and then I read your title and just about spit tea on my monitor! Lighting is adequate, but you could have used a bit of a reflector on your right side.

Rise From The Ashes

i like this image. I would have cropped it a bit more off the bottom and given yourself a bit more negative space just to really balance out the light and dark. Also, you might have wanted to use a different colour of "shroud". The white just isn't doing much for the look and feel of your image.

cute title, but can't say I agree. I adore the lighting. Wish the image was just a tad sharper, but I can see how you may like this slightly OOF look (it goes with your hard lighting). Good use of shadow as well.

Sunset

you are well lit, but the lighting on the model doesn't match the lighting on the water so it looks a bit cut and paste. Like the parka, though. Its an interesting juxtaposition to put a woman in a furry parka against a sunset, but I'm just not sure it works.

Lighting is smart, especially the backlighting glow along the right side of your face. Love the red lips and the fantastic expression, but some of the highlights on the face seem a bit harsh..almost blown out. Not the keenest on the crop of the top of the head, but I don't think it really damages the look of the image much.

not keen on the lighting. Compositionally, the image is a bit.. blah. Looks to me like your model (you) are a very expressive person, you should have just let some of that natural expression come across on the face, it would have done wonders for this image.

focus seems..off somehow. Otherwise, pleasing composition and love that jaunty smile. :)
