Pretty model!
The first two don't work for me because of the eyes -- looks like an overdone eyeglow effect. If so, try toning it down to about 25% of what you did. I like the pose in 1 a lot though. I also like the pose in 3, but the eyes look soft on my monitor and I like nice sharp eyes. (Could be a jpeg/web thing, or missed focus?) In 4 it looks like the pillow behind the model is what's in focus? I also find the bookcase a distraction in that image and would move it out of the way for the next shoot. Again, I would make sure the eyes were sharp; maybe use a wider aperture, perfect focus on eyes, and let everything else fade to oof.
IMO, 1 is your winner if you can tone down the eyeglow.
Cheers,

Thank you in the name of Lyn. She is as charming to work with too 
Not sure what you mean about eye glow... i only dodge the color part of the eye opposite the the catch light.
There was barely enough room left after the lights had been placed, so i could not move furniture. I tried to us the lens blur filter in PS but i did not like the effect. Then i tried to dodge the shelf, but it did not work for me either.
I will check out the focus when @ home, but i think it is a resize problem. I get as well many times a comment on the skin retouching, but when viewed at 100%, detail is fine.

Very nice images with your exotic pretty model.
#1 I like this image with her blank facial expression, if I do not make a mistake you need to smooth the surface of right breast with PS beautification tools
#2 love this one without that 'dream catcher' on the back of her head
#3 NOT SURE what she try to show it to us? perhaps her red secret of ...
#4 great pose without that book case on the right side !

Hi Nicolas,
I like your little studio. Cooperative exotic model. She is worth looking at and the last pose especially interests me. However, we need to forget she is in your bedroom. Maybe you are in her bedroom or some place wonderful!
I'd consider totally darkening everything outside the model so we look at her. Light background, IMHO, serves no purpose except to break the spell of magic. We cannot know everything or else there's nothing to think about!
Maybe give it a try and then I'd bet the images will get magic!
Asher
BTW, there's also another entirely different possibility.Try Changing image #4 to B&W and don't air brush! I think you'd be impressed how snappy, rough and true to life it could be made to appear; a tryst in fact! The complex non-symbiotic colors and textures would be subverted to the meaning of the girl's presence. So B&W, although not at all the intent of the work, might be at least interesting.
