Randy,
I think you have nailed #2 and #4, did OK in #1 (light is too harsh to my taste) and kinda could do without #3 ( I think you know why:-)
Best regards!
Nikolai

I agree with Nik but I do like #3. It's pretty much straight out of Senior Shooting 101 but it's still lovely and I bet your client likes it.
Nik -- you gotta share! What could you do without in that photo?
Full flontal, and she's not anorexic if you know what mean
I do love the light though!
Ok, I have to ask, because I'm baffled and, in fact, #3 was my favorite of the set. Full frontal I'll grant you, but.... what's wrong with the pose as far as her figure? She's got quite wide shoulders (ie bone structure), but not an ounce of fat on her - this is a slim, pretty girl, and I don't see it as unflattering at all. Am I missing something? dunno
ETA: Do you mean you don't like the way it crops just under her bustline?
I like 1 and 2 -- #2 was very nicely timed. Continuous shooting mode?
I don't care for 3 and 4 mostly because of the thin, stretchy, dark top she's wearing. It isn't obvious in 1 and 2, but in 3 and 4 her white bra is showing through enough to give the fabric a weirdly shiny quality.

Color it bone structure or something else, she's not thin, and with that full frontal pose is rarely a good idea. Landscape format multiplies the effect, making it worse.
@Craig_d: Yes continuous mode but only let it fire 2 frames....this was the second frame.
@Nikoli: This young lady is actually the state's girls diving champion which is why she probably appears a bit more muscular. As for the pose, it was actually a non planned, walking to another location and saw the light hitting the tree step over there and pop a couple of frames as I'm still walking. I appreciate your opinion, but quite honestly I don't think there is anything wrong with a young lady being in shape (I'm not talking body builder type here). As for full frontal, I generally agree that according to the ruled, it usually isn't a good idea but IMO I think it works here.
Both the girl and the photos are gorgeous. I do have a nitpicky problem with #3 though, and it has to do with the fact that she's wearing a thinnish black top with a white bra and you can actually discern (without looking too hard) the shape of the underwire structure, etc. Doesn't ruin the shot, but takes away a bit from the WOW.

Thanks Icebear. Yes that was a bit frustrating and to top it off she had on a "sparkely" bra that reflected like a thousand mirrors. I'll put that on the list of DO NOT WEAR things.
Oh my gosh, these are stunning! #2 and #4 are just superb! She is one fit young lady! You capured her wonderfully. Beautiful set and I love the processing. Top notch.
If I had to be nit-picky, I'd say that the background in #3 takes away from her athleticism. I'm busy lookin' at the fence thingy, the fallic monument and the trees.

Thanks for repsponding indiegirl. The fence is actually the guard rail of the "Old North Bridge" in Concord, MA where the Revolutionary War began and the monument is a tribute to the colonists who died that day defending Concord, MA.

Great shots, and I really like 4, did you use a bit of flash? She really stands out from the background.

Got bored with digital and went back to film.
Aaahh, hadn't even noticed the pose. Personally, I like the shot but you're right, a little bit of angle almost always spices a pose up (like in #4).
