I had the chance to work with this model...wonderful young lady.
I know nothing of nude photography so take my comment for what its worth. You have a lovely model who looks confident serene and at ease. You will notice many of the "models" in this forum do not have this relaxed look. Its as if they are far from sure the photographer taking their picture is actually doing it for artistic reasons but fearful the chap with the camera is actually after getting his rocks off. If your model has unsightly lumps and bumps you have expertly hidden them with lighting and produced a good study of the wonder that is woman.
I enjoyed these rather splendid images.

Thank you Billy. Here's one more I worked on from that shoot.
Bret, on #1you violated the rule of 1/3 skillfully... Why do I say that...??perhaps?? because my eyes go up the incline, and her eyes and looking back at the writing compelling my eyes to do the same ... so there is a visual cycle... I like it ... really really great.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#2, superb. The hip in the foreground would not be OK if bright, but it is shadowed and so not a problem, rather the hip is part of the overall blackness. Great composition, indeed! You have good composition eyes Bret, a master.
Two things I would change, I would crop the right side ... I already know there is a pillow... making a light pillow triangle (three white areas in photo) not adding .. distracting. Also if only two pillows and the bright breast area, well, they forming a bottom rt to upper left line, then it crosses/contrasts with the dark lower left upper right line.
OK now that the right upper pillow is cropped, look at the top why so much black wallpaper?? crop close to the head.
as I stated at the start... #2 Superb... wow! that I could do so well!!
-------------------------------------------------------
#3 Perfection +++ only thing I would do is crop the top black to equal the black on the right ( the hair to edge space) ... this gives a better diagonal lower left to upper right...
I would suggest you mount these on your wall and get rid of your camera and retire as a champ.... your next photos would never rival these...

I like your use of light with your model. For my tastes I prescribe to "less is more" and you do well with this. Keep shooting.

I agree with all the comments. However, the third gave me pause. I can't figure out what the rope is all about. Otherwise, these are all wall worthy. Nice going.
