Priscilla Queen of the Dessert

Actually, it's Kate. But it reminded me of Priscilla Queen of the Dessert.
Warning: nudity.

First
Second
The second one had a bit of work done in Virtual Photographer, a filter plug-in for Photoshop, as well as deliberately introduced vignetting. Tell me if it works or not, or if I've gone too far in screwing with it.

Onyx - we are seeing you improve with each shoot u do!
I like both of these but the first one particularly seems quite over sharpened to me on my monitor.

I prefer the 2nd image here.

Well done brother!

The 2nd is definitely better than the first, although it's hard to get the full effect when you have to pan around inside a web browser.

Here I was expecting some twist to the pictures (maybe with some sort of confectionery) but apparently you meant desert instead of dessert. 8)

Chi,

They're both very good, but you need to cut back on the sharpening that you're doing here. They're both oversharpened, and the first by quite a bit.

In the first, look at the area where the underside of the model's left arm meets the background - there's significant haloing there.

In the second, the feet almost seem to be lifted into a different plane from that of the rocks upon which Kate is standing. Not as bad as the first, but I think you're taking the sharpening too far, but then failing to pull it back enough.

Cheerz.

Thanks for your comments. These shots came from the very first shoot I did, now 3 weeks ago, by which stage I just about knew nothing and had learnt nothing... well now, I had learnt from my Flickr gallery that some of what I find mundane other ppl tend to really like, and what I think are great shots others find ho-hum. So I'll increasingly post my crappy pics and see what the reaction is.

I am aware of the oversharpening, as these were prepared for printing - and it's also why they're a not web friendly 1440x960 res (at 240dpi, that's almost a perfect 6x4).

And sorry, no sugary treats in this thread... I should learn me some grammar! ;)

Very good
