This is my favorite edit so this is where I'm going to talk about the entire set. Theadina is beautiful. Her gaze is mesmerizing, her figure is stunning in that dress, and she does good work with her hands. The costume is well chosen for the settings. As a whole, this would make a memorable editorial spread of 8 or so pictures, including some in full color, and a sepia portrait and a sepia body shot as bookends.

This edit in 15 is effective because of the rich texture and light. There's a nice depth to it, augmenting the sense given by the angle of the shot and the sunlight. Perhaps some of the roughness around her dress especially in the lower right corner is too much, but overall it works to give a sense that one is looking at an old photograph and recalling a special moment.

The pose in 24 is perfect for the idea there. The background in that shot may be a bit overpowering, and there's a sense of clutter that keeps it from being perfect. I suspect the full color image might also look cluttered with unwanted colors, so it would take a lot of work to edit. It would be worth experimenting some more though, because the pose is so wonderful and the composition is solid.

09 and 09.2 are nice. The color of 09 works for me, but you've lost the light on the lamp post in the edit. Because of the light, the shadow on the lamp post in 09.2 makes a stronger statement than the darker lamp post in 09. I'm guessing you asked Theadina to hold her hands behind her back so you could use the lamp post to draw attention to her figure. The idea would still work given some other expressive or natural poses with hands, so if you have any others you might take a look at them again.

Of the black and white photos, 30 stands out because of the contrast of smooth and fine textures. The composition is okayish. It serves to show us Theadina's allure. I would edit the texture of her lips to make them smoother. It's not just the dark flecks, but the sharp line on the upper right above where it's blurred. I don't know what that blurring is on her upper lip, but I would edit that out. This is a rather trivial critique of a good photo.

Your recent work with Anastasia is nice--she also does good work with her hands--but I'm kind of stuck on this set. Kudos.
