This is a small detail to nitpick, but the image on the top right would be much improved if her hair were pushed behind her shoulder. Models with long hair tend to disconnect their heads from their bodies by (often inadvertantly) wrapping their hair around their faces.

If the shoulder and chin were visible the picture would communicate her pose. Of course, if the intention of the photo is to glorify the hair, you've done a smashing job. In the future, it would be nice to see it tried both ways.

The photo on the bottom left seems to tilt to one side. An easy solution would have been to have the female come down on the other foot so that her body would tilt toward the center.

The photo on the bottom right is very nicely constructed. The three dark verticals created by the opening in the background, the sunglasses, and the strap of his bag give the piece a rigid and masculine structure that meets the tone set by his facial structure.

On the top right, I'm taken aback by the fact that the male model is looking at the female model while she stares out a the spectator. This seems to be a motif in your gallery and if you don't mind me being curious... I'd like to know why. It's not a problem, I just seem to pick up on it.

I'm very happy that you chose to place the models in a textured but neutral setting. While many people would have placed them in a studio to show of their clothing, you allowed them to behave in a realistic environment. Very few photographers have the knack for photographing bright colors and you seem to have a talent for it. The background generates just as much interest as the foreground without creating a competition between the two.

Allow me to apologize for critiquing your work when my gallery is not a place for fine art. I'm not sure if you find it disturbing when a person that critiques you doesn't display work of their own. I am a fine-arts major and I'm often placed in a position to help my classmates. I know this doesn't make me an expert, but I adore your work and always want to talk to you about your style and intentions.

You take gorgeous photos and I'm always hard-pressed to find something to critique.

I think... the guy would've looked better with his hair longer... like down-his-back long... and pulled back into a ponytail....... hot.
