New here! Some pics for you all, and a little about me

Hi guys! I'm happy to join this site, and this group especially, because to me this style of photography is really exciting and fulfilling!

I've always liked cameras and snapping pics, but never did I think of it as something that I'd put any real effort into. Well, a couple months ago after being exhausted with the boring work that I do, I started looking on the internet to see what would I actually enjoy doing that I could get started on and perhaps eventually I could even earn money on?

Very quickly I fell in love with the whole black and white style of photography because when I was a kid my dad used to work at a photography studio where he'd let me help him develop photos in the dark rooms they had back in the day. So I coupled that with what I find to be the most beautiful shape and energy that I know of, and I decided to take pictures of the female form in black and white.
Now I know I'm a total noob at this, but I really just had to jump right into this thing after watching and reading quite a few tutorials on the internet. I only recently found out this style is called fine art nude, and now I've found my way to this group. Having gone through quite a few posts on this group, I'm really happy to share, grow, and eventually give back to the community.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for taking the time to look through these images. I've created the following as appreciation for the feminine energy, which is forever flowing, creating, and alive. I would very much appreciate your critique!

I like your third image the best. The hair flows nicely onto the shape of her body, and the selective color doesn't stand out as much. The second one really seems to jump as a color play. You don't need to censor here on f-stoppers as long as you flag it appropriately, so the distracting IG-sticker like additions just distract from your work. I think just as a color or black and white image the second one could be quite nice, though the light is hitting very flat on her thigh, taking away it's shape.
