Bruce,
I second Cotty's summary word by word (even though we probably differ in
detail).
Being less diplomatic than Cotty, I can give some specifics if you are
interested. I especially liked 1, 4, 11, 12, even though #11 might look
somhhwat cliche (or was it your photo that I've seen before? ;-) )
(If those were mine, I would probably try to tone down slightly the window
light reflection from the RHS wall in #4)
Unless it was a part of some special story, I'd say the toilet in the
background of #5,6 is not as glamorous as the rest.
I like the idea of using reflections in #6,7, but it would've been better
if the mirror were cleaner in #7. :-) But I suspect that it may not have
been a planned shot (has it?).
From the entire set, only two are somewhat bothering me:
In #8, the pose is too static (as in obviously posed). It looks obvious
that she was standing in that pose for some time. It is present in some
other shots, but the frozen muscle strain is not as obvious in those.
Sorry, from the previous discussion, I suspect that it doesn't bother you.
In #10, with that counterlight, - it's an interesting effect, but I wish
it was softer with that. I don't know how that can be reached.
I am thinking that a "soft" portrait lens (Pentax FA-85) might work for
that, even though I've never used one.
This photo is too softer than a sharp one, but just not soft enough for
that "creamy" cloud-of-dream look.
I don't know, - maybe some local PS experts (Mark?) know how to enhance
that in post?
Igor
PS. The website design is weird: clicking on the thumbnail of the "active"
photo moves the thumbnail tape to the top, and the active photo
disappears, so you'd have to reload the page and start over. And that's in
4 different browsers on Windows. I understand that it is not your website.

These images are from my first shoot with local model Araina Nespiak
in August. Taken in a borrowed conference space in Mississauga.
Great job as usual. Regarding style, some I'm not bothered about but
some are superb. Really really superb.
