Gosh Frank,
Some of these guys are getting a bit picky with their crits!
For me it is another masterclass in studio photography.
Thankyou and keep posting

The effect on #1 is very crude and elementary but I'm not sure what you were going for.
All of the others have your normal lighting stamp on them. This series of shots seem to be a bit more mundane that your normal stuff. It's like you normally shoot large format but maybe these are not? Don't know but these are a bit different to me in some way.
@Ray,
These are shot during a workshop which was based on the lighting techniques.
For the dress shots the posing and the material was the idea behind the light setup.
I really like all aspects of 1 thru 3. Light and posing are wonderful. But then I love dance photos and you captured it well. The portrait is also beautiful and I very much feel connected to your model. At the point of emotional connection I think art.
The others show good technique but I don't think they complement the model much.
Overall a very good job. As indicated by others you are one of the masters here.
