Hello All!

This is my very first post in the forum. I'm from Vietnam. I take photo for fun and passion, in weekends.

Welcome. Very lovely young ladies, nice poses, look forward to viewing more of your work. Couple of little things, unless I've somehow messed up the last calibration of my monitor, your WB is a little off. I download your first image, adjusted the WB to the white of the shirt, adjusted the exposure and tint slightly. There were some blown highlights as verified by the histogram, in the shirt and nose, that detract from the overall quality of the image that are unrecoverable.

@smoke665: many thanks for the comment on WB. I've processed this pic on Retina screen and also seen some blown highlights on nose that were not discoverable.

Welcome to the forum!
This is a nice solid set.

Welcome to the forum! Nice work and lovely models.

For blown highlights on skin I sometimes take a section of skin with similar lighting, paste it over the blown area, trim it with a soft brush and then fade it till it looks right. It works sometimes and I've got away with it on this forum a few times.

In this I took a section of skin from her left cheek, rotated it and stretched it to fit, trimmed it then faded it to about 45% before flattening the layer. My eyes aren't what they used to be but I think it works.
