I notice that all of your top ten photos are the profile of the model. I think overall the composition of your photos are aesthetic and you definitely bring out the beauty of your model, but I would like to suggest you to shoot in different angles and pay more attention to what you are trying to express with the portraits.
I think that you could have framed your images a little better because for the images in which part of the model is cropped out, it looks a bit elementary and not deliberate.
As Samara said, I think more angles and perspectives would make this body of work stronger. The one that stands out the most to me is your second because of the composition and pose you chose, as well as the contrast between the model's white shirt and busy background.
Even though you shot from almost the same angle, the stories are different and I can see your intention. The image 7 & 8 is less interesting because the cutting of the head destroys the integrity of the portrait.
I agree with the previous comments, that it would have been nice to see some photos with a different profile. However, I really loved the 3rd, 6th, and 7th photos. The contrast of the model with the white background is stunning (3rd). I think the asymmetrical composition and the angle of the 6th and 7th pictures are great and makes for a dynamic photo.
As some have mentioned already, the subject is cropped in many of the photos and takes away from the composition of the photo. Your 3rd and 9th photos were the most successful in my opinion because they had the white background and the model is framed in a way that helps your image
The previous comments all discuss the aspects that are most blatantly in need of being addressed. Cropping creates composition and the composition of your photo will make or break it. In cases like the 4th photo, it broke the quality of that portrait. I'm glad that you chose to select photos only in profile for your top 10 because it sets yours apart, but you could have pushed this by taking her to several different backgrounds during your 1-1 time. Variety would help make the same angle more intriguing.
While these are well edited, they dull the mind because of constant repetition of forms. The most successful is the white background images because of the sheer contrast, but the flowers distract from the composition.
