8.  Are you a 'model' or a GWBB/RA Model
9  General thoughts on your images.
Might I suggest the following?  Go out and purchase a few magazines…Redbook, Cosmo, FHM, playboy, doesn’t really matter as long as there are women inside displaying a variety of expressions on their face.  I would suggest that you try to mimic their expressions until you are comfortable displaying your own.  Also, I would suggest you create a list of expressions…sad, happy, angry, sinful, distraught, envy, greedy, sexy, lustful, etc.  Tape it to your bathroom mirror and everyday, take 5 minutes and run through that list watching yourself in the mirror.

Keep up the work you are doing.  Have fun and relax at your shoots.  Seek out as many photogs as you can.  Every tog has a different way of doing things.  The way he/she uses the lights, props, surroundings, poses, etc.  You will find things that work for you and things that do not work for you.  Learn from each experience…take the good and bad and make your own style…learn how to position your body to be the most flattering, how to place your head, your expressions, etc…always learn from the experiences.

I'm not sure if you/the photog were going for the soft dreamy look or if it's simpy out of focus...either way, it really doesn't work in this shot.  the Soft dreamy shots are more than just a soft focus.  It's about the hair, the make up, the pose, the surroundings, etc.

5.  Best Physical Attribute great lips
6.  Worst Physical attribute kinda on the fence here....in some of the images you seem to have chip monk cheeks.......so I don't know if it's lighting, MU or what...or maybe you do have chip mink cheeks....cute in some shots, but should be downplayed in others.
7.  Listable? nothing in my current lists
8.  Are you a 'model' or a GWBB/RA Model

5.  Best Physical Attribute lips and eyes....nice full lips...the eyes...love the color...one thing I noticed about your eyes is that your pupil opens up pretty big in low light...that's not BAD, but remember the bigger your pupile, the smaller your iris and so all that pretty color gets lost in the dark pupil...make sense?  Problem is, as you know many photogs keep their lights down low and only use the modeling lamps to get everything set and then fire the strobes...so your eyes try to adjust to the low light naturally....you MIGHT want to consider using a flashlight or a pen light and shine it in your eyes to help constrict the pupil....that toss the light away and take the image....I know it's not perfect, but it's an option...shame to lose all that pretty color. sad
6.  Worst Physical attribute nose...a bit round in general
7.  Listable? yes and have

when I saw your AVI, I was like...eh, it's OK...then I opened the port and saw your classic beautiful face...very pretty woman.  Would LOVE to see you do some classic pinup work.

this AVI, in my opinion is heads and tails above the others in your ports...it's soft, it's sensual, it's alluring and flirtatious.

4.  Worst image

I chose thias as your worst fro a couple of reasons...1, I hate hand bras...there are so many other ways to do implied nudes without using a hand bra....hate hand bras.  Also, the vacant look on your face/expressions looks like you just didn't want ot be there taking that shot.
5.  Best Physical Attribute breasts
6.  Worst Physical attribute I know you aren't going to like this answer, but it's your tats
7.  Listable? nothing in my currnet lists
8.  Are you a 'model' or a GWBB/RA model
9  General thoughts on your images. Keepl working on shooting with different photogaphers...each tog has their own way of doing things, own way of lighting, own way of posing, interacting, etc.and over time you will find what works and what doesn't work for you.  I would love to see you do some classic pinup work.

When all you have, ultimately, is a head shot, your facial expression is vital to a good image.  A model cannot generally get away with a vacant look on their face.  There is a difference between vacant and non focused.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Expression has been something I've been practicing more of, my avatar is from my newest shoot and I'm glad you picked it as my best shot because it proves that my hard work is paying off smile

And the least attractive physical attribute being tattoos, I can live with that. I thought you were going to say my nose is too wide :p But to each their own. I'm pretty alternative and would definitely love to do some classic pinup with that alt twist.

Thanks again for taking the time to view my photos.

your "worst" image is much better than a lot of people on MM's worst image....it's just kinda blah as compared to the rest...soft skin, MU is nice,. lit well, just kinda boring as compared to the others.
5.  Best Physical Attribute eyes
6.  Worst Physical attribute Hmmm...this is a hard one...I'm gonna say your tushie....wanna know why?  because none of the images show the tushie...makes me think you're hiding it! smile  You're really a beautiful woman, so it's hard to say.
7.  Listable? yes and have
8.  Are you a 'model' or a GWBB/RA Model
9  General thoughts on your images. Like them...I really don't know what to say here....I mean something tells me that you should be giving me advice, not the other way around.  I would like to see a couple of glam shots from you.

cool idea, and love the fire, but just a bad photo

5.  Best Physical Attribute love the short hair on you
6.  Worst Physical attribute have to reserve comment here...all of your images don't show the body....and the images are far enough away or small enough to where I Can't get a clean look at the face.  So rather than just guess, I'll reserve comment.
