Careful with the pose in number two. Having girls put too much weight on their arms makes it look like the arms are a lot bigger than they actually are. It is definitely not a flattering thing for the subject and something to always keep in mind.

Overall, pretty good for a first attempt though.

the last 2 are good the others need a reflector to shine some light on her face from the left IMO.

Thanks for the critique, much appreciated.

I actually did use a reflector to lift the shadows on all the photos... I'll have to practice a bit more with the reflectors to get the right amount of light thrown back onto the subject.

I really like all of them, the last is my favorit. IMO you did a VERY good job for your first shot at seniors
