Hi.
You did a nice job with the models and location.
The garments look very nice too.
Overall, a very nice set of images. Good job!

Take a look at image #6. Look at the top of her head, at the hair.
Notice the color of the hair and the lack of lustre (shine). The hair looks "mousy" brown and dull. In my opinion, this is not good/pretty for this type of beauty shot.
I suspect it is due to your Post Processing, as the colors of hair and skin tones have a "dull flat" look (also see the other blonde model's hair).
My Suggestion: Photos showing "glamor" or "beauty" models displaying hair and skin as key points of the shot, will look better with hair that does not look "flat" or dull in color or tones.

Thank you.
Steady, I agree about the hair. But I still like the overall tonality of these images. If I had increased the contrast in the hair, it would have looked a bit out of place.
This was my first time directing two models at once and it was overwhelmingly hard! There are lot of things I'd like to change but I'm still quite happy with the results
