Nice work!

Did you do her before or after taking the pics?

BTW, I wouldn't resize her. She looks about right.

She needs to exhale before she explodes!

Nice job though, I like the first one best.

Good pose, great eye contact. Overall a bit too much contrast, so you lose the dark tones into complete black. If this is the effect you wanted, great. If not, a few extra lights/flashes to add some depth and detail in the shadows.

Keep up the good work.

She looks like she needs to be milked. Must be done on a regular basis to ensure health.

see the problem was I forgot my shoot through umbrella and had to hold the diffuser I had at the light instead of hold it with the white reflector on the other side so I had to make do. No strobe prof said studio lighting only.. aka a 200watt clamp light on a light stand.

Problem? The only problem I see is if you didn't ask if you could buy her a drink/coffee afterwards.

Sometimes I miss college.
