Re: Diagonal Lines
Gosh Victor, I didn't notice the diagonal lines until I looked twice at the images. Something else happened to catch my attention....

Re: Diagonal Lines
Hi Victor,
I too think these are very nice images, and unique... I adore the composition in the 1st one and feel it fits the theme of diagonal lines perfectly... The 2nd image is nice but a little too cheese-cake like for my taste.
I adore the 3rd image for the composition, natural pose and moment captured (beautiful smile, and yes legs)... Perhaps the shadows on the legs are a bit too dark? I'm not sure.

Re: Diagonal Lines
Nice shots Victor - I like your compositional approach here, and the dark / light contrast (over and above the diagonal lines) works well. The one part I'm not completely sure about is how sharp the model's face is. It looks a bit soft to me, but the images that you have posted are small, so I can't be 100% certain.
I've looked at the metadata, and f/5.6 at 44mm (66 mm full frame equivilent) makes me suspect that this might be the case (f/11 might be a more appropriate aperture setting); as other parts look to be quite sharp. A bit of softness can be okay, but the face, especially the eye closest to the camera needs to be sharp. Try single point autofocus, (focus on the eye), lock in the focus (hold down shutter release half way or use the AF button on the back of the camera) and then recompose before releasing the shutter.

Re: Diagonal Lines
You ask about leading lines, what are you...nuts? All I see is a gorgeous lady.
Aside from that, you have three images shot in the same location with what appears to be different PP.
That, and the ghosting in the second image bothers me somewhat.
