First off let me say she is a pretty young lady. Nice choice of model.
#1....I like the lighting and skin tones are nice. I think I get what you were doing with the pose...but the eyes are rolled too far back in my opinion and maybe if you were closer or at an angle that would'nt make her eyes be so far back. #2...love the pose and skintones. I can even tolerate the brick wall or the tree on the right...but the pipe sticking out her back is distracting. #3...the pose and the white of her dress are right on...so are her skin tone...but the sky in the background is washed a bit or there was a brush fire or campfire somewhere and it seems a bit smokey? #4...SUPER #5...again the sky is washed a bit and the whole picture seems alittle flat. I don't care for the pose...it doesn't flatter her figure. Might be cause her legs are crossed making her hip/bum look larger than it is. JMO #6....the background is not the best but the backlighting is great!

I agree. Nice choice of model. Backgrounds believe it or not are as important a consideration as the subject. #3 has the best setting. #4 could work incredibly well with some backlighting and creativitiy. The poses are all a bit "ho hum"...fairly flat towards the camera. The first pose just doesn't do it...nor the model justice....it's an upside down shot.
Take a custom white balance before you shoot and your processing will look better (heh, so will the model). Yellow is overruling your coloring on these. Now having said all that, I think you did well for first time out. Look and look and look at lots of shots, magazines, Model Mayhem, OneModelPlace, etc. This will help you see the shoots in different ways. Models are a blast to photograph and really helps you stretch out as a photographer!

nice captures for the most part. What I noticed straight off is that 3,5,6 have a cloudy whie hazy look to them. In my eyes they need bit more contrast and darkening.
4 is my fav. |

Agree pretty much agree with Swartzy on these.
I'm not crazy about #5. Something about the pose is not flattering. #3 you could have done without the sky putting all the focus on her. I like 2, except for the bottom of the shoes. I like the idea in #1, but I feel her eyes are rolling a little too far into her head.

thanks for all your comments.. I normally like to do fun capture of children and couples.. so coming up with a different style was interesting.. you are all so right about the haze.. the day we did the picture it was hot and really humid, it was almost like a light fog with water hanging in the air, in other words it was really yuck. lots of sweat on the upper lip. thanks again for the comments...
