They look a little flat and possibly a bit soft. Have these been edited already? The poses look nice. But they lack contrast and good color to make them pop.

I like your backgrounds, lighting and posing. They all look pretty good to me.

Now, I'm on a brand new video card and haven't calibrated my monitor with it yet, but the one on the top right looks a little greenish in the skin tones (just a very slight tint). It may just be me, but thought I'd mention it just in case.

OK I went over to the desktop. It appears I need to re-calibrate the laptop. Colors and contrast look fine. However I'd really like to see a little noise clean up on a couple of the close ups and some sharpening on a few of the others.

Now I'm off to calibrate the laptop again.

I think they all look great.
The only little thing I noticed was the white light on her chin in this shot.

Good job....

Looking at all of them again I must say I like this one the best.

Overall a good job.
This one

you've turned her head too much away fro the camera - her 'back' eye is too hidden by the bridge of her nose.

good - pose and shot variety.
bad - background is the same in every shot - you could try gelling it to change the color (even some PS work to alter it a bit) - same lighting in every shot too, kind of boring - try a few shots with a low key (black) BG - just remove the lights from the BG, and some dramatic lighting.
