I took the most useful advice that I received from my last post and tried to apply it to the portraits I've taken since then, here's the results. Any constructive criticism is much appreciated!

DNW's Spectacular! is not a constructive criticism... but certainly a true statement, indeed ! Crop is my drink, I am a cropahaulic.
#1 stop my visual search by cropping top down to the part in the hair. You already cropped on right in hair.. good.
#2 Crop just below the bust line and to the edge of the rt shoulder
#3 Crop bust line and finger tip.. big white line... nothing to do with the story
#4 Crop just at the top of the 7 rings.. the out of focus bubble has nothing to do with the distinct curves. Excellent
#5 &6 Tighten the top.
#7 fine as is .. good shot indeed
#8 tighten top and right
#9 top down to just above the silver chain.... on right crop near the hair down fall... what do we care about the back ground.. story is she and the left.
#10 Crop out the far left light column ... crop down to 1/2 of the over exposed umbrella panel... crop right to just one colored dot beyond the rt shoulder tip.
aaa yes, my lust for cropping will be made happy with those changes... frankly the whole grouping is excellent... just that I was trained that crop is the most important story telling tool.
The last post you refer to was.....?

The only cropping I usually do is to a different aspect ratio such as 4x5 or 16x9, I'll try it more in the future since I have spare megapixels to play with. The previous post it was pointed out that I had everyone's eyes in the middle of the frame so the compositions were all lacking.
