Not that it was too hard to infer this based on your comments above, but the above shots; they are of your current (-/ex?) dominantrix girlfriend? Did she "command" you to shoot her in such-and-such way, this-bearing-degree light, that you might have found it suffocating, if not a wholly negative experience, to feel like you were not in charge of the photoshoot? (my imaginative assumptions can go a bit further than you realize, do you think?)
I'm kind of really off the B&W-as-aesthethically-necessary-for-serious-templates-kitsch, but that's just my current predilection. I'm not judging your pics based on my subjections, though.
To comment: it was the first pair of photos in which I believe you alluding to when you stated "previously posted". Still... they are the ones in which have the most to say, in my opinion. When dealing with models and portraiture, much as the style implies, I much prefer seeing faces, above anything else. Now, perhaps you had a deal with the forms belonging to the female(s) above, and they did not wish for their face to be published. If that is indeed in the case, quite fine. Although, when you say "female forms", and go onto disaply most of them of outlinings (from the bum, hips & back, to the torso, body-hugging lingerie, leg-accentuating stockings, and chest region) I still find it striking to notice you withheld the facade, and what I think is even more visually-tantamount to femininity: the hair (on her head).
Anyway, you are sharing what may be the tiniest fraction of this portfolio's stock, so of course it is good. However, my last comment: was there an inherent meaning to the slightly-easy-to-miss droplet peeking its ways on down your subject's chin? Is she hard at work, or merely enjoying her play? (Did you even notice this prior to your shooting her, or... even as late as my reply here?)
