I don't care for these - and each of them for slightly different reasons.

#1 - too bright for my taste and the one-eye thing seems to clash with the straightforward, face-on too bright look.
There is no allure, no texture

#2 so much flare that the rest of the image is washed out

#3 flare on her knee, her arm, blocking her face, chopped off hand, the right half is totally empty

I find myself in agreement with Lew. #1 to me looks like lighting more suitable for a passport. #3 I think would have worked better if we could see the "off into the distance" that she's supposedly looking at. That said, I think that all of these would have been really good images with just minor tweaks.
