hmmm.

First of all the white background does nothing for this. It washes out the skin tone.

Second, the blue is a bit much. It actually draws my attention to the butt and torso instead of the hips.

Third, the black shoes, well the feet in general, are not important to this shot and could be cropped out, imo.

I do like the waist jewelry, as it surrounds and brings attention to the hips/waist. The dangle actually falling to the hip level is what does it.

Nothing flattering about this, the shoes don't match the thong, the sleeve is completely out of context and the chain around the waist is not visible enough to contribute to the structure of the photo.

This one's that, different with the style of crop. I think that the white needs to be a little more white and a little less gray for it to work better.

Nice and sharp but find the blue and slightly washed out skin tones a little distracting - For some reason the shoes seem a little awkward too?

Not sure what to make of this. The lighting is okay, but a little boost in contrast/curves (no pun intended) would have made the whites whiter. I'd suggest using a healing tool of some sort, to clean up some minor imperfections in the skin as well the sensor dust visible under her arm. The pose feels a little awkward too.

I like this shot a lot... however, I'm not sure if the sleeve is too distracting or not...

'Hips' is not what this image says. With her right foot forward there is hardly any hip showing at all.
