1 is fantastic. Some dad is going to be very proud to have that shot in a frame on his desk! I agree with Josh though: the effect on #3 doesn't work for me either.
For #3, it's not just the effect... I think it's an unflattering pose/angle. Particularly the crease by her right armpit and the ruffles on her shirt.
Oh yeah, there's more
#1 - Easily my favorite of the bunch
#5 - Too processed, and too busy (I don't like the chain link fence and trees being in focus.... and the chain link fence is really bad with the tennis racket).

#2 great
#3 not too fond of this effect.
#4 I really like this one.
#5 looks a little over saturated for my taste.

You're getting better and better, Bryan!
PP effects are a rather new thing to me. I'm still in the experimental phase. Nice to get opinions on what works and what doesn't.
See if you like the original any better.
Thanks again!
