The short answer is "no".
The long answer is: Think about what the market out there is like. I would only pay for exceptionally rare or exceptionally hi Q pics. Although this girl is cute, so are half the babes at OCC for free. And the size of your pics could be bigger. But mainly, an awful lot more attention and creativity needs to be directed towards lighting, set design, cropping, etc, as well as towards developing your own personal "stamp" or style. The third pic, with the girls back to the camera, is an idea worth developing. The lighting is interesting. The crop, however, is kind of tight. Anyway, if you want to know what type of babe photography I would pay to see, check out crazybabes.com. Now were talking! Or for close ups, the Ishotmyself school of photography would be one worth emulating. Otherwise, take huge pics for starters. Then follow that with lots of unposed, action pics (give the babes something to do, in otherwords). Take the girls outdoors and include several in each pic. Check out coccozella's "Photozella" pics for more ideas. The photozella concept is cool. Or Ralph Vulis, who also likes to shoot muliple babes in interesting outdoor setting. There are sites worth paying for, but in today's market, they really have to be exceptional. So I'm just giving you some ideas of what i would pay to see. It certainly hasn't all been done yet. Hang around here long enough to find out what kinds of pics members really dig and are also very rare. Then offer us ten times the number of those pics that we could find in a weeks worth of surfing. If you have to, "unlearn" any photo techniques you may have picked up so as to make your pics look like a "friends shooting friends" type pic. Then I'd start figiting my wallet. So good luck! And come back when you can offer me huge pics of ten babes picnicing in their backyard w/watermelon seed fights, or Abby Winters type girls, or huge pics of babes with bods like the one below, or........or..........and then join a serious photography site (like photosig) to have 'em critiqued by pros to sharpen your skills.......and THEN......maybe THEN........MAYBE.......you will have me as a paying customer!!!
BTW - I wouldn't necessarily say that pics of babes with worn out dirty soles is bad (with the right girl and set), but otherwise, follow others advice here too...
