She's a beauty, but the shirt is distracting.

Ah, makes sense.

I like the lighting in the second one better, the first looks to on axis for the size of the light source. What were you using?

I agree about #2 being the best. Definitely do more well-off-camera flash work! I also think you might have had some luck with a gold reflector or something similar.

Actually I like #3 the best, given this is to help sell the shirts.

This is the Coquitlam River (Vancouver BC Canada) - it's 1 and a half blocks from my home - I spend hours there - walk my dogs there daily and ride my bike thru the trails - in summer the kids tube down the rapids ...

Thanks for all the great comments ... here is one more from that shoot:

I'm impressed overall. You two did well. She's obviously comfortable in front of the camera and the two of you worked well together. Her friend should be pleased with the results.

Since the shot is for the website selling shirts, this shot is the best for what you are seeking to produce. The focus is clearly on the shirt in this one. All are excellent but from a purely commercial aspect this would be the one I'd use for the website. Well done.
