On the first picture, there is some artefact (?) on the right side of her nose. On the last picture: what happened with her thumb ?

Lovely model and images.
MFloyd asked two very interesting questions. I haven't notived the artifact on the first one on her nose. I suppose her thumb is like that?

Very interesting MFloyd, thank you, I hadn't noticed my editing mistake on the nose, the thumb is part of Helen and not my editing problem :) here is hopefully a better edit of the strange nose effect

hey thanks golunvolo, the lighting in this selection is all natural light, late afternoon in early September on the outskirts of Madrid, no added reflectors, just the light coloured buildings (and the floor in some cases) helped fill in

Great for the re-edit ! With regard to her thumb; this might be the result of excessive "thumb-chewing" during childhood (or later); nevertheless, it is not very aesthetic and may be she should avoid showing too much of her thumb during shootings.

Otherwise, very nice pictures  ;)

A thumb like that is known as a drumstick, may be a sign of a domineering person.

It's called racquet nail - where the width is greater than the length of the nail. It may be associated with a few syndromes (all dermatological e.g. Brooke Spiegler - multiple trichoepitheliomata) and a few diseases (hypoparathyroidism with resorption of bone) but can occur 'normally'. The actress from Transformers Megan Fox also has them
