In the second pic it was the clash between the background and the models suit. I don't feel they compliment each other.

Again, if you're just testing lighting situations it's all good but if you were planning on putting something like this in your portfolio I'd take another look.
You're on the right track so keep at it and keep posting your work. I enjoy looking at it.
