For me 1 thru 6 are what outdoor portraits should look like. These are not just point and shoot. Great job on lighting, use of repetitive lines and posing. I would love to see some of these run the Lightroom and bump up the clarity quite a bit for a really different look that would lend itself to these images.
Love the spotlight effect in 1 thru 4 and I like the pose in # 5 a lot.
With that said, I'm not crazy about the pose in in 6. My models do that too and I always tell them it looks like they have to pee. Obviously, the world is wrong and I'm right.
The headshot ( no. 8) is just a terrific image.

The spotlight of the downward light is great and very different. Like the first 5, six is a bit akward in the pose and her face is too dark for me. I am also not a big fan of 7 either. I think a little less turn of the head would remove that heavy crease on the right side of her neck as you look at the shot. I also like to see a bit of white on both sides of the eyes, especially with a dark eyed person. The last one was very nice too.

What was creating that look of the stream of light directly overhead coming down on the first couple against the wall? I really like that.
That said, I think five and six are my faves.
That was a tiny crease between the two lanes of the bridge.
