Tried some outdoor portraits for feedback

[PicBug]

I went out with my son and a friend of his that had done some modeling, just to practice getting outdoors portrait shots. I'd appreciate feedback, please.

Good work!

Nice shots! I personally think that #2 is not flattering for the girl though... The shadow her hair makes on the left of her cheek looks like a very broad jawline.

Did you do a lot of burning in the first 2?? The last one is my fav.

Thank you! The last one is my fav too.

I did a heavy vignetting. Too much? Seems I get these posted on here and they are always darker than on my monitor........

Personally I feel like it's a bit much, yes. Gives me the sense that one is viewing her through a periscope or something of that sort....

I like the first one a lot.

A tip for the last one...try not to have the sun in the model's eyes. They squint their eyes up. Sun behind the model or off to the side and use a reflector or flash to fill the model's face.

Other than too much, or perhaps better stated, too close vignetting hurts the first two but nice shots otherwise.
