Frank,
I love the hues of # 1 and 3. Really works well providing a unity for each work yet color. These are so well done but for what? I guess these would be great for magazine articles since for fashion the colors are likely altered by the wonderful sienna tint.
Pictures 2 & 4 have shadows as part of the composition. I'd consider lightening all the shadows as the extreme contrast with the wall pulls us away from the model. Is that something you might perhaps feel worthwhile to experiment with? The extra edge to me is distracting and this penumbra can be removed without loss. However it's a niggly thing and not something necessary. Similarly I remove the white wood baseboard in picture #4 or else grunge up the wall.

These were shot during a basic workshop I today, so not for a magazine this is what the students learn in a basic workshop.

Hi, Frank,
In number 1, I find the overall presentation too dark. (If of course the premise was "girl in a dimly-lit room" it would work fine.)
Beyond that, the shadows above the eyes (from the model's bangs) are not attractive to me.
Now, in number 2, the shadows seem to work fine. But for me not in 4 (not a result of the pose, really).
In number 3, the crop at the top just doesn't seem to work for me, nor does the "bright top" on her hair.
