Excellent job. #3 is my favourite (I'm guessing there's not much option re the hair on her face) but #2 looks a bit composited for me (don't know if it was). #1 is great too.
Was light not on the face in 1 and 3 to place the focus on the body? If so, I get it. I would have preferred light on the face, the body still would have stood out. Just my opinion, tho. Both 2 and 3 are killer images to me.
I wanted to have her face out of focus on the first. the last one, you would not be able to draw her body like that if you place a light, to lit up her face Those two photos is about the shape and body.
Only nit-pick is a little more light top-down on her face in #1. Don't want to light up her face, just some top-down highlights consistent with the rest of her body. Great job.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you about having light on the face in the first or last one. I completely agree that the photos are about her shape and body, and they should be. I also think your lighting on the body to achieve that is masterful. But I do think the face getting some light would not take away from the shape and body, and simply complete the image. But... that's my style, not yours, and it doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong.

Agree on all points.

I like Devisor's chosen approach here. The model's face is beautiful, but lots of work went into a body like that. If I had such a body, I wouldn't give a damn if a picture had my face in it or not, let alone whether the face was in shadow. Nice work as always, and I love the compositing!
