Hey, Ben... welcome to GG!

Love that first image - a Jill Hennesey look-alike, eh? Might have improved it by having her eyes open and looking at the camera. #3, ya nailed the eyes, but where'd those hands come from? Looks like they appear out of nowhere. #4 gorgeous eyes... interesting perspective.. the only thing I could suggest is to remember the rule of thirds, and try to set it up so that her eyes were at one of the intersections of thirds of the picture (i.e. move her eyes up and to the left just a bit - that would have given you a bit more of the body to work into the image).

On the last image, sure wish those shadows weren't there on her face. Might have thrown some light into the shade with a reflector or fill flash.

Quite a good start to your GG experience, Ben!

Here's one of our holiday houseguest...

The first three shots the lighting elements are fine. You just need to pay attention to some other details.....

1. Hair distracting and there seems to be no compositional value. Model seems to be sleeping which is fine but there are a few problems with the body lay out that is distracting as well.

2. Nice light feel to it. Model is straining her look with her forehead wrinkled....I like the shot, but pay attention to the model's expression.

3. Beautiful but compose it with the angle of the model.

4. Amputee syndrome and if you landscape crop give it more negative space.

5. What were you thinking? Throw it away.
