Little Talbot Island C&C please

Hi, I mainly do lansdscape but with a 17 month little girl in the house thought I should do some work on my portrait skills. I did some reading on shooting portraits with available light and gave it a go. I used the fill flash for some, and some were processed with a "Vogue-ish" cross-processed look that I was envisioning. Here are 6 from the day. Since this is my first portrait work I'd like any feedback from those of you who do it on a regular basis. Shot with Canon 5D and 24-70mm f/2.8L with UV filter. Fill flash with 580EX II at 1/128. Thanks!

Nice series. I particularly like the last 3. The last one looked like the footprints are raised up instead of indents.

I also think this is a nice series.

#4 is cute

#6 is just a great shot

These are freakin' TREMENDOUS! WOW! I love them. So inspiring. Your daughter is adorable and the scenery was breathtaking as well. The sky is awesome in 5. For me personally-- 1, 4, 5, 6 are my favs. Great work! So neat!!!

Thank you very much for the nice words.

These are awesome for a first go... I think you have a LOT of potential.

Love them! I prefer the last 3 of the series, both pose/composition wise as well as colorwise. The first three seem a bit too yellow for my liking.

Thanks. The first three were done with a cross-processed look (E6 to C41). I have seen it done from time to time in magazines and like the effect, but you're right it is yellow bias.
