Great setting and great model.
In the first two I find the poses a bit awkward. It looks like she is fighting the barrel, but also trying to pose at the same time, and no one would struggle to push a barrel with those foot/toe positions. I suspect the barrel is propped, but I still feel because of its angle the scene is one of her trying to push/hold the barrel, and the pose just does not show realistic physical engagement with the barrel.
In #3 the barrel is stable, so I only see her using it as a prop for the pose, and that works better for me.
I hope you have a few more in the series.

At first I thought your reply was pretty critical but after looking at the pictures I agree. Thanks for bringing out the little details that some may miss.

The barrel was not propped but I did ask her to try to roll it like it was full. Unfortunately? she has modeled so much with photogs saying "point your toes"d and she is a dancer so the foot position is just sort of built into her. I agree with what you say but all of the series is the same! Thanks for looking so carefully.

First kudos to model - even empty those barrels are not light. Second location, prop & composition of photos are very good. But (not butt) I have to somewhat agree with JohnFrim plus to nit-pick #3 drew my eye to her dirty foot (understand why) and the light streak between leg & barrel shadow. Realize that is natural but wonder how it would look filled in? Regardless I enjoy your work and hope we will continue to see more.

Very nicely handled vertigo. True, the poses are slightly contrived, but that is what this is all about, right?
Also, the poses are a good study for an artist's brush...
Kudos, you did well. And the model looks great.

Nice but, a little contrived.
Why no just place her, crossed legged, off center, at slight angle to image plane, on top of the empty barrel; with the open Bung hole at about 45 degrees to the image plane. ( place plug on the ground, if available).
Empty whiskey glass in one hand (held high) and the second finger of the other hand just touching a slightly extended tongue. All fingers hyper extended.
Expression - model's option.
Lighting - photographer's option.
Variations - Very thin (see through), Bright colored gossamer vial for model - Draped as appropriate.
I would post my take on this but, after doing the setup we were not able to see straight...must less find the camera.

Amazing at times how colorful B&W photos are... the shades of gray [at times 50] are in our primitive eye/brain connection.
Yes, the pose is exaggerated, but it is a ballet dance in action and thus what dance looks like.

I like the idea … #1 and #3 would be better if the model turned her face to the camera. #2 shows off those great legs but the angle make her seem thick in the torso. All seem like one light shots with some harsh shadows … and second source or reflector fill would be nice. Love the dance poses …
