Warning: This critique is coming from an amateur that so far has been afraid to post anything peoplewise here (I'm more of an odd ball city stuff photog).
I love #2. Good lighting, love the water, love her pose.
#1, I don't like her legs being the dominant foreground. I think I would have swung them back more to show some lower bikini and more upper leg on her underneath leg. Edit: IMO you did nail the lighting here, but not sure of the shadows under her eyes. Not sure if it actually hurts the shot though.
#3, Not bad, but I would have liked her looking up a little bit more so I could see more of her neck. Also, shooting higher maybe would have put the blue wave horizon above her head instead of through her ears.
#4, I like the pose but don't like the background. I think a reflector camera left to bring out a little more light on her left camera side would have been good.
Again, no expert here. Just someone that loves people photography and is still trying to learn to be a people photog.
