I rather like 1 & 3! In 2, the metal horizontal bar at the bottom kind of detracts. In 4, I'm not sure how I feel about the wood thing she's standing on. I guess 5 is okay, but those power lines detract.

the first pic is nice, she is a pretty girl and she looks pretty there, but it reminds me of a shampoo ad.... I suspect the purpose of these is not to sell shampoo : ) but to photograph her in her beautiful dress. To my mind, number 2 and 3 are perfect! I love the juxtaposition of the barn wood with the satin, and with that being a full length photo, you see the entire dress and how it falls and cascades down. Number 3 is more what you might expect for a background with that dress and you've done that shot beautifully. From the feminine head tilt to the graceful posing of her arms, right down the lane of trees leading our eyes to the stunning hillside views. I love that the light is showing us the texture and folds and softness of the dress, while allowing the purple to really pop. It's easy for a dress that color to become really dark and to not represent its true vibrance, but you've overcome that. good work. Love the little "tease" of the blossoms in the upper right hand of the photo as well. Not a fan of the last two at all, but whatever. You nailed it in the other shots and she should be thrilled with these!

#1 This one feels awkward to me. Like "why is she peeking out of that"
#2 BY FAR my favorite, the textures on this work really well
#3 I want a more shallow DOF on this one. To me, the background is very distracting. The green seems overpowering and oversaturated.
#4 It is also a bit odd to me that she's standing on the wooden block thing, but the background is amazing.

Thanks guys, as for #4 on that block it was because it drops down a bit then the bench sits level with the ground behind it so if she wasnt on the block it would of cut of the bottom of the dress.
The criticisim i did get is appriciated will definatly help me for next time
