These are a really great friend of mine. I may be biased, but i think she's absolutely beautiful, and i take any chance i get to take pictures of her. She is very patient, and is the reason that I have been able to further my talents to the point I am today, and will in the time to come. she's very much appreciated.

now to the pictures. this was from one of my first shoots w/ my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. i'd like to know which one you all like the best.

feel free to vote, and if you have a reason you like it the best, feel free to comment and post critiques, i am here to learn.

shot 4, i really like the wind-blown hair in the face, but i was wondering if anyone saw a problem with it. i personally like it, but i'm going for technicality here. so tear them apart :D

here we go:

jon, I like #4, but you're right. The hair is distracting. I like #1, but I would like it better if she was looking at the camera, and you PP the red splotch on her neck.

I think the order you placed the in the post is the order I like them (from least to best - ie. #1 least, #4 best). As mentioned above, with a little more post processing to clear up some issues these would be great.
