Thank you. Points noted. I see what you are saying in 1 and 5. I did crop 5 and can see what you are saying. I might look at that again later. As far as 1 goes, I did try to straighten the architectural lines and lost her feet. I also shot having the other wing (without the chandelier) and captured her down the center.

I really like 2-4, great tones throughout.
The last one seems awkwardly framed or cropped.
The first one I love the location but none of the lines work for me. I'd love to see how this would look with a step back and to the right in order to level the lines at the top and create the leading lines centering her within the columns in the back. I'd consider cloning out the blown highlights in the top left window to match the right too as it's distracting.
