    Very pretty model. Were you doing this as 'head shots' for her (and your) portfolio? If so please take this from someone that finds it difficult to get people shots right......The shadows from her hair don't do her face justice. The branch in #2 needs to be cloned out. Also I find her lipstick and eyeshadow clash with the dress in the last shot. If you take her out again you should use a flash to open up her face.

    The only real problem I see with these is that her face is in shadow in each of them. Now, the fact that you positioned her with the sun to her back is a good thing, as harsh sunlight on her face wouldn't have looked good either, and the sun also makes a good rim light when coming from behind. However, I think your results would have been really great if you had filled in her face either with a reflector or some fill flash. You can probably still dodge the face in photoshop on these and make some big improvement though as it's not extremely dark. But a little fill on the face would have made it just pop beautifully. Again, I really like these except for that (rather important IMO) detail.
