I think they're all very well executed studio portraits. The only quibble I have, is the catchlight in the eye surrounded by jewels in the last shot. The fact that you can tell it's a strobe reflector is a little distracting. But it's a minor point.

I tried playing with it in PS but kept mucking-it-up... I'll attempt it again in a few days... I know was the one thing that bothered me too...

I've never had any luck fixing things like that in PS either. You don't realize how tricky it is until you actually try. Good luck!
