I like number two cause you're not the central focus of the picture but the gold scarf thing guides the eye where you're meant to look. It does have that come hither type of look to it I'm guessing you were trying to capture.
I think for cover art, pic 3. for sheer viewing quality, #5. must whack the photographer though, there are some technical things with the first two photos that do not bring out the best in you in the first two pics.
I thought it might have been her :P here's my totally unprofessional, biased critical opinion (judgment?) on the photos. [0]
pick pictures that give a bold statement. #1 has a lot of action in the background. it distracts the viewer from you. (we are trying to focus on you right?) a higher aperture setting (tightens the focus on you), or make you bigger. #2 you're all blurry. :( but more comfortable looking than in #1 . the scarf leading to the viewer intrigues me. and provokes thought. :P #3 the rose is a little dark. and so is the left half of your face. yin-yang? if you could continue that theme down the whole of your chest, it might have looked really cool. I think the scarf (left hand?) is out of place. #4 good lighting, seductive eyes - teasing behind hair, pouty lips. all leads to: w00t!! or fwoar! blur the greenery in the background. #5 once again, lots of things happening in this pic. I get a cold/tired/insecure little girl look. Good if you want to look like Casey Chambers sounds. *duck* #6 red filter (excess blue light) or photoshop :P I think .... a lot of little flowers all over this shot. or dust motes there's a lot of potential appeal in this photo, but the colours detract from it:( #7: stunned? washed out colours. and IMHO, not a flattering photo.
#4 and #7 make me want to know what colour your eyes are!
Don't stop creating. I see some good things coming out of this. and you're brave enough to display your wares too.

I and objective party clodia_risa vote for #2; we love the colors and the way the picture leads up to you. :) (clodia_risa sez: "#6 rocked too!" I agree.)
Narcissism anyone? ;) Not that I don't do it myself ..
Honestly, I think that #2 is the most appealing because of the color, light, and the position of your body. In general, I like it because the entire piece just flows nicely together. The other images have bits and parts that I like, but as a whole the others didn't form together as well as #2.
#1 contains similar colors, but your stance suggests one of a wild nymph, a creature of nature. Also, in contrast to #2, #1 has a "darker" mood, having you, the subject of the piece in shadow. The allure of the first picture is one of wild woodsy things, but the audience is more capitivated by the otherwordly qualities. "Sexy" is left behind to leave instead a mysterious allure. Can it be called sexy? Not sure ..
Love your hair in the first two pictures. Frames your face nicely. Alove love the scarf in the first two images as well. They draw the eye down briefly, but still maintain the balance between you and the bottom half of the image.
In #3, the rose draws the eye. Gorgeous. The lighting, however, feels off to me, and the scarf in the left hand distracts the eye. Too bright while looking for dark there.
Too much space on top in #4, and it is very distacting. Face is a smidge close to the rose for my taste, but a very good profile neverthless. Shows a strong female.
The mood around #5 is sweet and shy, somewhat curious and childish. The pose signals that one is unsure or hiding something, and the gaze is cute and contemplative. Lighting is well done but more contrast can be made.
#6 is gorgeous. Beautiful gaze, beautiful scenery, beautiful pose, all create a sense of longing. The emotion invoked isn't necessarily sexy, however; instead there is a feeling, a need to reach out to the woman in the image. What is she look at? What does she want? Powerful emotion drawn up here. Just needs color correction (http://diary.mrowness.org/img/mefey06-2.jpg).
Now #7 reminds me of a gyspy with her shawl, hovering like that to block out the light. The sun in the background, however, adds a sort of jovial quality. The audience feels like dancing, singing along. Sexy? Not really. Still captivating nevertheless.
