The first one is kinda sultry.... the darkness is sorta moody too...and the last one.. yeah I would say that its also sultry... nice pos8ng and expression there...
but the other two don't seem so sultry to me... her hair isnt blowing right giving her a flat head appearance and her arm doesnt look connected to her body... sorry..

Dan,
No ... I don't believe that somebody being "sultry" would be doing a hair flick. The two simply don't go together.
Sorry.

relaxed pose leaning on the wall, yes. eyes, and soft jaw, head tilt, yes, like them all, and sultry.
the hair is the against the grain element that is part of your style Dan, they look great, and have a good edge.

'Sultry' might require the lighting to be a bit more subdued (perhaps less than the first one), and yes the hair probably doesn't quite work with the concept.
That's not to say they're not good images though! I particularly like #2, and also #4.

sultry is usually defined by the lighting as well as the pose by the
model, maybe lips pouting, etc. I think the blown hair really detracts from the sultry mood that you were going for.
also personally I think sultry can be defined by an air of mystery as well which is usually shown in the eyes.

Shame on you Paul, dragging the thread off-topic.
Only had a chance to shoot a couple of frames thus far; been far too busy.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to put the 30D and D200 side by side for some <strike>lowlife</strike>low light shooting tonight. I'll be at the Stag if anyone's interested in coming along and supporting local music.

Sultry or not...these are excellent magazine covers. I hope you are pushing this angle.

i think in the last 2 there is a hint of sultry either in the half closed eyes angle shot
but i like the hair the movement is rad
what were you askign her to think about to pull of these looks
it helps to roleplay
