Hi Brendan; Images 12,20 and 22 all look to be slightly flat and possibly underexposed. The brick wall is not the most flattering background. If you must use it move the model away from it and use a wide aperture to put it out of focus. Photoshop's gausian blur would work as well for that. I found the shadows on image 15 to be distracting. I would have turned her so that 1 side would be in shadow. I would have used a reflector to fill the shadow side a bit. Fill flash just enough to put a catch light in her eye. As was mentioned in your first series, your models, nor their poses, look comfortable.
A couple of recourses. Peter Gowland, a famous glamour photographer (gorgeous work) has a book with 330 of his best poses with tips etc for $19.95 US. www.petergowland.com and the May 2002 issue of Shutterbug lesson of the month senior portraits using natural light might be helpful.
