1 and 2 work
Tough when elements out of your control change the gameplan. I think the white background works well in 1 and 2. Good idea in 3, but like the above poster said, the leaf getting in the way is bothersome (maybe a little photoshop work could take it out?). At first I was bothered by the light in the room behind her, but I think it's OK if you can fix the leaf.
Love number three ...
Nice shots. The first two have a vaguely vintage feel to them. Di you desaturate a bit? My fav is definitely number 3. You might be able to clone out the leaf but even with it it has great background seperation that really makes the foreground pop.
I have considered removing the leaf and probably will. I agree the shot will be much better without it. No reduction of saturation, I think it's more an affect of the 'speedlight softbox' I used. #3 was shot with a Lightsphere Cloud on camera.

Nice job of adapting.
