Some nice shots Dave, the last one is to tightly cropped for me. You possible needs to tidy the models hair up a little bit in Photoshop as there are a few too many loose ends

I like them all. The first probably needs some separation between the top of her stockings and the blackground. A bit of dodging or painting on a soft light layer with White at low opacity over the stockings to improve definition, maybe? (bearing in mind that I am viewing these on an iPhone.)

The second is beautiful. I like the use of space. The third reminds me of a carefree but sophisticated look. I am tempted to try a pure black and White with slightly increased contrast to get rich blacks for a kind of sophisticated glamour noir look.

In comparison, the toned image does look better. I stand corrected. :)
