Curious to see what you guys think of these two? This is my 15 year old daughter. We went out to get some shots for her birthday party coming up in a few weeks. I really like the way the 85 1.8 handles flare.

I like #1 best; but I think a little fill flash would help it.

I definitately agree! I tried it at first with some fill but I couldn't keep the DOF I wanted with the shutter under 1/200. This was the perfect time to have an ND filter...which I don't have but I think I should pick one up. HSS would have done it, but alas my little speedlights aren't HSS capable.

Just out of curiosity, what lens/body did you shoot these with?

Her outfit and posing are cute! Certainly fit for her occasion and age.

As someone else pointed out, a fill flash would've been nice. She seems a bit dark compared to the sky, which is pretty blown out. It's completely white. I would've liked to see more detail there.
