And when a woman is happy she's sexy and good photographer can capture that.
As a shooter I find that in the digital medium that regardless of how you set up the shot, any kind of skin blemish jumps out the picture. For example the lovely lady you shot has a some facial acne and a pimple slowly growing on her chin. Now photographer can play with lighting, filters and call in a good make-up artist and all that will help a lot. But is anyone really willing to pay for this amount of work?
And if someone was going to go the extra mile then obviously it would be necessary to chose a more experienced model. I'm not ridiculing or condemning by any means the lovely lady in your photos. But it's obvious she's has got to get a few more good quality scenes under her belt to in order to learn how to pose.
Yes, F/22 puts the realism in the photo that today's porn consumer craves. Not just the background but whole sha-bang...including clogged pores.

We pretty much think alike. I especially like your comment: ".. the vagina I like the best is the one that's being offered in front of me."
I shoot with settings on sharp and sharpen just a little post. Yes, you can see blemishes, but this is what you would see if you were sitting across from her at Starbucks. If you look just about everywhere else in the porn world they have a very, very soft focus. With the popularity of X-art style you see a soft focus that borders on no focus, as though the lens was dirty or there is fog in the room. Then with depth of field shots you have one side of the face in focus and the other out of focus. Obviously people love that or they wouldn't be buying it, and it clearly satisfies the fantasy element and even the art side. But I like realism and try to find buyers who like that as well. It fits well with your notion of being satisfied with the vagina in front of you.
