Let me know what you think,

First attempt at portraits up Mt Kiera mountain on one of the paths near the lookout.

These are straight from the camera at the moment as am still learning photoshop. Don't want to destroy her just yet.

I like the third one best. Did you use a fill flash? That may have helped with the first one, the shadows under her eyes are quite heavy. Some photoshopping could make them better, have a go, you don't have to save them. :)

I like these especially the third. You can improve on the fill light as suggested as well as try different poses such as the controlled smile and the full smile to the laugh etc which may suit your subject's personality better. Does she like them? ; because that's the most important!

I like the third too. The angles are probably a bit extreme for my tastes in a portrait in the first 2, though I can see the intention.
