Hi Brian, first I would like you to read the posting rules and please provide EXIF data of your photos in able to guide us.

I am not expert in fashion photography but I know how to look for a good photo.

The photos that you presented are good but not captivating.

Colors are good and I like the mood/feelings, because it is upon individual's taste.

Her hair is a distractions, if you can see, it goes all over her face.

I like her tan skin, the way she posed on the second pictures, but when I looked at it, I am not satisfied in skin softening, it looks very fake.

For this, you can improve for the lightings, as I observe there is no equal toning of the shadows casting on her face especially on the first photo.

Overall, it's a good start...keep on shooting and experimenting.

Hi Brian, the first image, the vertical one, looks like the luminousness is a tad to high? The second one, was it shot thru a filter (blue)? She seems to have a very slight blue haze over her. I would be inclined to darken her a smiggen, by darkening the whole image slightly, then changing brightness and contrast slightly. I think you were going for a sultry smokey look? It's in there lol. I do like how the two sides funnel the eye back to her, then she used her knee to obscure the road behind her. Very sly lol. Great model, great location and composure.
