Hi Sue.

The last three do it for me.

In the first of these (#3) I'd like to have seen the chopped elbow unchopped. Chopped is fine for chopped liver (Pesach is just around the corner; matzah, anyone?) but I'm not sure if it's that good for the elbow.

In the next one ... just love it. The cross-referencing between the colours of the balloons and the model's hair and clothes works very bloody well.

And in the last image, the colours in the umbrella, plus your use of the wide angle lens, up close, with a low angle, make this image a very different one, and an absolute stunner.

the eye contact, composition and colour of the 3rd immediately caught my eye. i love the shot to bits. as gary said, i'd prefer if the elbow wasnt chopped though.

i also LOVE the engagement with the model in the first. she looks like shes looking right at me. perfect exposure to boot.

These are all great!
However in #4, the blank stare, the make-up, the balloons.... made me think of scary clowns. ;)

I love the last 3, but especially the umbrella shot... the wide angle, the colours and the perfect lighting make it a stunning photo... well done on all of them :)

Great shots Sue, a lot of thought obviously gone into positioning and props and exposure for the flawless skin spot on
Lights would make it easier to control shadows indoors but excellent result with what was available
