Thanks for looking

LOL...with a cutie like that how could they be bad? Great poses, and great background. But with that said ;-)a, #1 and #4 the faces look to be over exposed. And #2 could be improved with some fill light to help she her eyes. I think you got it all nailed with the exception of how to work with the harsh light. Only option is using a flash or a reflector to even the light out...or shading.

Keep it up!

Thanks, I actually did fire a flash, but when doing my post processing, I sometimes play around too much with light, Thanks for looking.

Gotcha. Then could also be due to your monitor not being calibrated?

Here's my honest opinion. The girl is cute and you nabbed some cute shots. But, the photos have too much contrast, whites are blown out, and vignettes are unfitting. Overall, they simply appear to be overdone to me. Almost to the point that it makes it hard to focus on them.

I would suggest making sure you get a good exposure out of camera then pulling back on your PP a bit. I feel these two items will turn your photos around in a very positive way.

Please don't take this as a bash, as I promise it's not. Merely suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback, I will consider it on my next shoot.
