First: I'm not among those who only accept "glamour" or "traditional portrait", 
as you may see in some of these:

(you dont have to like any of them .-)

On the other hand, regarding you pictures, I see a fairly tradisional glamour 
shot with some additional effects.  The effects dont add much to the photo 
other than a short visual surspise.  The effects do not add anything to her 
expression or anything else in the photo.

So, keep experimenting, but remember that an uninteresting photo never gets 
more interesting with a random effect.  You have to chose something that 
corresponds to, and maybe amplifies, something that is already in there.
