There is a booger in her left nostril in #3. Her fly is partially unzipped in #2 (was that intentional?). And her hair is too blonde in the last one.

...LOL But seriously...

- #1 is the winner for me. But there is a tiny halo around her head. Don't know if you wanted it there.
- I might remove the light reflection on her right lens in #3.
- The levitation/teleportation effect in #2 is cool, but the shadow on the ground needs work. There are "halos" around her shoes... and I'm not sure the shadow should fade quite so abruptly.
- Did you want the floor to be completely blown-out in the last one? (I'm assuming the answer is yes.) It looks good, but maybe a little hot?

This is the critique forum, so aside from stating the obvious ("these are great!"), I figured I put on the jeweler's glasses (though mine are more like goggles) and really look.

I wish some fashion/lighting experts from other parts of the forum would chime in here. I'm sure we'd all learn something.

They're edgy. I prefer the top one the most, as it seems to have the best overall lighting, pose and geometrics. That halo around her head does bother me though.. You might be able to remove it with a few minutes worth of work (unless you're me, then it takes a few hours ).

The second idea's a good one, as she almost looks like she's levitating. But the background corners sort of distract IMHO. Maybe if you cut her out and pasted her in a sci-fi background ... Just an idea. The same corner distracts in the last image also.

thanks guys... I really appreciate it.

I like the one at the top most, too. The angle, lighting, and proximity to the subject all work in conjuction perfectly there. I'm not sure I get the levitation effect on the second picture - as it removed from the purpose of the image I think. In the third picture, her pose makes it difficult to look at anything else but her sunglasses, and I don't know if that's the desired effect.
