I had the pleasure of doing a shoot with a new model this week. I got a good range of shots and I want to use 3 of the following 4 for an on-line portfolio I have. Whilst I'm not after critique as such (hence posting here), I would value opinions as to which of these is the weakest picture. Many thanks.

I like the first three the best

If you cant get rid of the waterfall or whatever it is behind her in the 1st one do it and get rid of the last one if you cant get rid of it can the 1st and keep the last.

Chalk,
Congrats on your model and your set! They are both beautiful.
She seems to know what she is doing and so do YOU!
I would choose to keep the first one because of the retro look, intriguing yet suggestive. Very nice!
The portrait is my second keeper (I would stronly suggest to get rid of the freckles which would leave you with a perfect 10!) and the fourth one would be my third keeper, the textures, the blue dress in contrast to the reddish bricks and her face make a great capture.
For me the weakest link would be.....#3

Whatever that is over her shoulder spoils #1.
My favorite is #4.
I don't care for #2.

wow..thanks for the rapid replies...much appreciated. Maybe the waterfall in no1 doesn't stand out as much in the black and white version as it does in the colour...thanks to those that pointed this out. I'll analyze the overall group thoughts when (if) I get a few more views. Thanks again...

Wow, you got an amazing opportunity! The model is lovely, if i have to choose i would say the last three are my favorites... best being 4, 2, 3... great work! Kimi

Tough choices, but my keepers in order of preference would be 4,2,1. I love the way she looks in the blue dress
