heya venom! good effort with the portraits - its the first time im seeing u post on portraits n poses - ur own thread 
and with a PnS, good job! As some of the guys have already mentioned, you can improve on the angles that you're shooting at. i'm not the best around, but imo, i think:
#1 - The pose is good maybe you need a little fill flash or a reflector to light up her face a little. her face is darker than her arms cuz it's shaded by her cute hat/cap! 
Try use a small aperture if the background is empty... and if the sky is a little blue - it helps to bring out the blueness in the sky, if not just shoot wide open to get a nice background blur. Try shooting at full zoom too... but dont get into digital zoom!
#2 - The pose should be changed to get the best possible picture. notice that her left arm is a little 'big'? try posing her in a different pose so that she looks good in the picture - can hide the 'bigness' heehee :sweat: as 'student' has noted, her chin is kinda small... i think for her, shooting at eye level will be nice, maybe just below eye level, but dont go for the down up for a model who isn't 'pencil' thin, not very flattering as it'll bring out a bulge under the chin *heehee* it looks a tad bit under exposed, but i love what you're doing - the reflection on the right and the pillars lining up on the other side! good idea!!
#3 - Your model actually looks good when shooting at eye level! Try shooting at eye level more often. the framing - u tried to use the leaves... i think it would work if it wasn't so cluttered. The background is pretty distracting - try to find a clean background - single color or empty space. The pose looks pretty good for this one, just the framing.
continue to shoot k? waiting for your next series!!!

Thanks for your comments. Yes, this is my first time posting on portraits n poses. I'm still new and playing around with my A85. I never shoot using digital zoom. Thanks for the advices. Will take note of them and try to shoot better pics next time. :sweat:
