Hi, I have new headshots and would love for everyone to take a look and tell me what you think. I would really love to know what age range I am seen as and what everyone could see me playing. Here is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35730909@N02/sets/72157614348479775/
Thanks!

I think any of the pictures where your hands are forming like a halter-top effect behind your neck are kind of strange.
The flickr is loading slowly so I can't go through each of them. But as long as not all of them are like that I'm sure you'll have something to work with.
Very well-lit shots though. If possible, think about swapping out the flat single-colored backgrounds for something else. Personally not a huge fan of bright single-colored backgrounds.
Well, they all look beautiful, but I agree with DK that the arms are distracting wrapped around your neck. I'm guessing these are Dana Patrick shots and from what I hear she's very specific about poses and you may not have had a say in the matter.
As for age range, I would say 22 ish, although each of the outfits along with the poses are a bit "mature"...sophisticated if you will except for the tank top.
I think the shots of you sitting against the wall or board (in said tank top) make you look the youngest, however on the internet they won't pop since you're so far away.
I would consider having the pink and green background colors changed to something a bit more neutral for printing, although for online they may stand out well the way they are.
I think I would ask for a reshoot. Don't get me wrong you look great in the pictures but the poses are not what you need for good headshots. Keep your hands, knees and anything else out of the pictures and your face front. As you can see the only pictures that show your face correctly in thumbnail are the ones with your arms around your neck which does not look good, all of the others your head is so tilted most of your face is cut off. Maybe some of the other posters can suggest ways for you to salvage some of these but I don't see how really.

Ugh! She's coming close to Kevyn Major Howard as far as silly poses.
