Thanks guys
 
On my screen, the look underexposed.






p!nK
 
this is about the third time i've noticed this because of photobucket. the skin also looks a little ashy. so in regards if possible disregard those two things. Thanks
 
1,2,3,4 all were taken from too close with too short of a focal length, thus causing undesirable exaggeration of her physical features. All of them look a bit underexposed as well.
 
They need more contrast and are a tad underexposed... don't worry i feel your pain with photobucket tho ;)

Here is where abouts you should bring the exposure up on my screen... i went a bit further tho and ended up cross processing it too, soz about that, got carried away! :P

However there are a few possible compositional issues in this image, like the tree directly behind her head, and the fence is slightly awkward at that height... next time try and watch where the model is in relation to whats behind her. ;)

hmm, need more work. All are dark, and if you are shooting for a cover you need to account for the magazine masthead and cover blurbs etc. Also, shots for a cover need to be verticals!
 
I think I would like this a tad more with shallower DOF to get the backgroung OOF. The trailors, buildings, tree, goal posts all were a tad distracting for me.
 
I like #3 the best
 
Reflector or fill flash to make your subject pop from the background as well as get rid of the facial lines.

Also open the lens to about 4 or 5.6 to bokah the background. Use a longer lens to compress the image some more.
 
It's all been said already I think, but here's what I was thinking before reading the comments:

Generally underexposed, work on the lighting including properly exposing the backgrounds relative to the subject, too wide a lens on the closeups, watch your backgrounds and how they interact with your subject, use DOF to better advantage for isolating the subject from the background, focus and sharpness could use some work in critical areas like the eyes.

Keep at it. You'll get there.
