    Here's what I see - keep in mind I could be all wet.

    #1 - The tree in front of the beautiful young lady is in focus, not the lady. She's just OOF. In addition, the tree cuts right across her and is something of a distraction. Now then, if she had been leaning on it and if the crop was a bit closer - that would be a better use of the tree IMO.
    #2 - This is gorgeous! Nice tilt of the head, great hair, good angling of the body, and good use of DOF. To improve, a bit of back/side lighting on her hair would have had a significant impact (see #3 for what I mean)
    #3 - The straight on perspective leaves us wanting. If you had angled her body just a touch ... In addition, her skin tones are completely different from those shown in the previous two. But, the light on her hair is a really nice touch.
    #4 - Nice pose, very relaxed - looks natural. Looks like metering was for his shirt and pant and this caused the rest of the image to be a bit over-exposed. Fill flash here would have allowed you to limit the overexposure issues of the background and his right shoulder/back.
