I think #2 and #3 are begging for fill, probably with just a simple reflector to take advantage of that gorgeous natural light. I'm not sure if you were going for a dark, low-contrast subject for dramatic effect, but I definitely feel that these would benefit from fill lighting.

I agree that fill would be an asset, here. Actually, I believe that some sort of lighting would have been beneficial in all of the photos in this series, if anything, but to help balance the natural light. The background is extremely blown out, in order to properly expose the subject. This makes for a very harsh contrast. Some sort of flash (preferably off camera) would have helped balance that beautiful natural light and properly expose the subject, at the same time. These shots are very cool - light balance would have made them great!

I agree the lighting is lacking here. I do love the composition though. I looks like you have a great model to help you prefect your lighting. You may wish to invest in a couple of 580EXiis, shoftbox or umbrella or a couple of less expensive Vivtar 285s, a couple of stands and triggers at some point. You show great potential here. Keep clicking!

I think these are fine the way they are.

I love the way you processed these, the contrast really works for me.

Thanks for sharing!

I like the backlight of 2. disagree that it needs some fill.

Her bra pads are showing in 2. Dunno how to fix that though. I think a bit more light would be cool though.
