Senior Photos--Farm Boy

I was asked to take photos of a senior boy who lives and breathes farming. Please give me some feedback, especially on the lighting. It was a bright sunny day--what could I have done?

Kate,
The only place I see a problem caused by the brightness of the light is in #2. I'm not sure what you do in that situation without a huge diffusion panel. I hope some of the other regular contributors here will have some ideas.

The rest of the shots appear to be out of the direct sun or you managed the light very well. I really like the skin tones in #1 & #4 and I wonder if you could adjust the WB to get that warmer look in #5 & #6. The other impact of the sun that I see is that you must have needed to use a higher F-stop in #5 because the cab of the tractor is in sharper focus than the background in the other shots. I am also a former farm boy and I love getting the John Deer into the picture. #6 may benefit from popping the saturation just a little.

So which one did he like best? I'm guessing it was the truck or the tractor.
