Do you spot meter?

The whites in her dress are extremely blown out.

The blown out white is from the vintage action that I used.

You mean you did that on purpose?
Why?

Your camera is equipped with a function that Canon calls HTP -- you're going to want to look into that.

You might want to rethink that then! Good vintage photos don't have the whites blown out..

#3 and #5 (2nd best, IMO).. not bad.

#1 would be nice.. without the blown highlights. Best shot, IMO.. if you fix the problems!

#2.. is way blown.. and the whole shot looks overexposed. Composition is a bit wonky too.. with the bottom of the dress cut of like that.

#4 could be a cute shot with more detail in the dress.

#6.. a bit darker would be better. Skin tones are really funky also. I would have shot that vertically.. and not cut off her arm/shoulder. The whole right side of that shot is just ugly road and background.. and she is a pretty girl!

Your last 2posted are much better. I would rethink the action.

Fix number 2 imo. That screams Texas and I love it, but not digging the blown out whites at all.

Here's #2 without the action

it's better, but still a bit bright to me. Seems a bit overexposed. However, I prefer darker images...not like crazy dark..but I am just not a fan of the popular seemingly lighter glowy pictures.
