    Keep on experimenting, Travis. It's a great way to discover what you (and others) like and dislike.

    I think I would probably prefer the crispness of a B&W rather than the muddiness of the sepia direction you used here. I find that they can end up with muddy, rather than crisp overtones for this type of subject matter. But then, that's just my personal taste.

    On the last one, where you have whitened the teeth, you might want to look at brightening the whites of the eyes too, to keep the shot looking more balanced. This can be tricky to do, because ultra white teeth and eyes can look spooky (and amateurish), rather than pleasing.

    Your model is very good (as in she knows how to model) and lovely too. Good capture and PP.
