Nice portraits, I really like her expression in # 1. # 3 and 4 are very nice also. #2 you captured her eyes very well but the plant bugs me a little, it seems in a little rugged shape mainly in the greens. Great composition and DOF in all, although if you darkend the leaves in #3 above her left shoulder to match the rest of background it may look even better than it already does. Just my 2 cents.
Very nice series. *Really* nice lighting on #1. On #2 (I know she's a redhead), I would maybe have toned down the red a little bit, especially on her cheeks. The smile on #3 is cute enough for a closer crop
One and two have my vote of confidence, that is for expression and her beautiful eyes. The flowers on the side fight for attention with her eyes, I think it would have looked better without the flowers. That girl is a flower of her own... Great model!
I think I would focus mainly on her hair and eyes... Great assets
As a formal portrait, I think I would pick the lower left corner one, or, as a second choice, the larger one next to it. All are quiite good and she's a very photogenic model.

I'm going to be really critical here, because I like your shots very much I am totally awed by the first shot that one is definitely my favourite, the upper right picture in the collage however...
how could you butcher :hack her sweet li'll toes off?
Thanks for sharing, she seems to be a great model and you make very good use of the F828!!

That picture isn't cropped, sadly, too close. I was framing her in. I took about 18 with her sitting there with different expresions (she was getting good at it!) and that is one of the only ones with her toes cut off. I could try a repair job I suppose.

Thanks Jerry!
I like those two as well. My #1 is the top left corner.
Who is she? A relative?
She is pretty. I like the one on my top right on the montage.
what time of day?
Hi Ginger,
She's a friend from school - we're both 17.
Thanks! She did photograph well. It was funny because she took her hair out in the last 30 minutes of the 2 hour shoot. She was really relaxing. All of the shots I chose were of her with her hair out, except for one. It became natural and she was posing differently between each shot. 185 shots later and I have about 18 I like.
The shoot was done between 4:30 and 6:30, with most of these shots taking place after 6.
I like 1 & 2. The eyes in the second shot are amazing. I started a thread awhile ago of favorite eyes and 2 fits right in with the kind of shot from Yuri that inspired the thread.
my 828.

And yet, I do a shot like that with every model.
