Hi, I took these with my Pentax K10D, fa 50 and da 18-55 kit lens in conjunction with my Alien Bee strobes. The rest of the set is here: http://kemal.ca/mine//thumbnails.php?album=42

I like the 4th one. Kinda wish the face was in focus as well.

I find the backgrounds a bit distracting, consider them with the composition.

the flat pink backgrounds work well, though the first is better as you can't see the texture on it

greater distance between the subject and the background will blur it out

odd non textured patch on the last one too in the bg off to the left, not sure what happened there but it draws the eye

keep shooting!
