Not trying to shrug off your crit,but I just don't see how they're leaning back at all,except maybe Shinbs' head,which I'll fix.Does anybody else have anything to say on that?
Check your centres of mass. A human body has a centre of mass around the navel. Because of this, the navel should be as near to between the feet, vertically, as possible. Now, here's an example of what I mean:
I've drawn the centre of mass on in red. Notice how, if you consider it in a 3D plane (which you should, since you're not representing a flat object), you'll see it's only barely inside the base made by her feet. This means that, should she be a real person, she would feel like she were about to fall over. To correct this, though, you've tilted her upper body back, so her head is where it should be. This is what I mean by "leaning back", or, by the more informal term, air-humping.
To fix it, you need to re-position the centre of mass so it's more... central. If you're ever in doubt about a pose, try actually standing in that position, and see if it's comfortable.
Also, a good way to see if your poses are natural or not, and if your proportions are good, is to look at the picture flipped horizontally, it's a great way to find the errors
