I’m basing my feedback from the standpoint that this was a paid gig, or a shoot with a model to add to a portfolio. That said, I think this set is generally nice and I’m sure you’ll have a happy client. But, since you asked, I’ll split a few hairs . I noticed a couple of reoccurring nitpicks…
Angle of composition: I think if you’re going to tilt the composition it should be purposeful. #1 looks like it could be straightened and #3 just doesn’t work for me.
Distractions in the frame: Beware of distracting elements that will compete with the model; especially in post when you choose a contrasty edit. For example, the big vent on the building with the slats and the branches on the left in #2. Also, I think the stray hairs in #5 is intentional but the one across the nostril is distracting.
Posing/perspective: #1 and #2 are a super-flattering poses, but #3 and #4 are much less so. Generally I think it is a bad idea to shoot upwards at people as in #3 and #4, unless you shoot wide, or shoot directly from the side.
Obviously, we can’t detect a lot of these details about distractions and composition until afterwards in post and it creates coulda-shoulda-woulda situation. But, hopefully this will provide useful feedback for next time.
