Chris,

Love this pose and the outfit. I think this has a few elements that you might want to think about. Your lighting here is decent but not up to the 1st, 3rd and 4th pictures that you posted (sure hope you remember the order). Just a little more fill would have helped this out (like I should be telling anyone to use fill flash). You got awefully close to the model's toes on her left foot with the crop but at the top of the shot you have some tree limbs that don't completely fill across the frame with gives an incomplete kind of feeling to the crop up there (IMO). Added to the limbs are some power/telephone wires that are visible. Those would probably be a quick clone out if you were going to use this in a portfolio but I figured they were worth mentioning. Now as for composition I find little in any of these shots to fault you on; maybe just some ideas that you might want to try and see if they fit your style. Since you have a model who is pretty thin and you're shooting her at more of a profiled angle alongside a light pole and seeing as how you have another vertical pole in the background with a slanted line of demarcation (the grass/water line), you might want to try playing with tilting the camera so that you're not shooting her straight on vertical. Maybe having the model lean farther back or putting her feet farther forward so that her back is at more of an angle and then tilting the camera until she comes into plumb vertically will throw off all the other lines in the shot and give it an arbitrary sense of style (at least IMO). Its not to say this is a bad shot, just something that if you start setting up a shot like this and noticing similar elements you might want to play with that idea for a few frames next time and see if you like the effect.
