I think that they are all beautifull. Did you use a flash in some to get the light in the eye like that? Could you also tell me how you shot the second black and white shot and what post processing you did as her skin is so soft, smooth and clean looking.

Would love you to comment on that please.
Very well done!

I used neat Image on the second b&w picture to soften the skin
And levels ,color balance and brightness/contrast adjustment layers in that shot and all the others
And steinar was kind enough to lend me his 550 ex flash and transmitter. (I really need that man)

Yeah, yeah- they're great, as expected. I have only one suggestion for improvement. Moody shots are certainly your trademark, but I keep waiting for the other side to show up. You gotta move somewhere where the winters are shorter or something. I had to dig really deep in your portfolio to find a genuine smile:

Hmm.. not a very technical suggestion. OK- set the shutter speed higher so Nazgul can tickle you while you work without shaking the camera. ;-)

She's a beautiful woman who photographs very well, I suggest going out on a limb more in regards to the actual photo composition. She's tall, thin, dark complexion, dark hair, check out some great fashion photography sites for inspiration such as:

Great Fashion/Model Photography

There are hundreds of links on here to some of the world's top designers and photographers....if you're interested.

all great! (no suprise there)

On a lot of them it looks like you have focused on her nose rather than her eyes. Perhaps a little mask and unsharpmask on her eyes a bit? They seem passive.

Whadda I know...
