#1. absolutely love it
#2. I hate blown out skies or even partially blown out but that's me it's a pet peeve. Personally I would have taken 2 images one exposing for the sky and one for her gown as you have here then combined them in post to get more detail in the background. such a beautiful background but so much detail gone. Also would have smoothed out her train more my eyes went right to the two huge creases.
3. Ok. But doesn't really do anything emotionally for me like the other two. Find her face a little too in the shadows for my liking.

yea, I got that same feeling, but i think you could probably selectively fix the sky in #2 and its otherwise a great picture. im not usually fond of silhouettes, but you pulled it off very well in #1, great posing there. #3 though, too much background, too much blur..hard on the eyes. might have been better as a thirds and without the guy in the background. Also, her facial expression looks kinda weird to me. like shes squinting or something.
