ive fallen in love with raw now just need to know if it looks good to you my educated peers.

the first 4 and #7 all seem way too high contast.

C&C per req:

1. High contrast, under-exposed and not fond of the angle. Additionally some fill light subject left would have helped.

2. As per #1

3. Ummm... nice branches?

4. This one has potential; I quite like the overall idea, and the bright sky behind works. It needs a re-shoot in a slightly different location without the cars. Because of the sky, the image itself is at least 2/3 stop under-exposed. Be careful to avoid cropping little bits of things (her foot) out.

5. Good exposure and expression in this one; perhaps a bit too tightly cropped on her face. As well, the background really detracts from the image.

6. A little too much contrast, and really don't like the expression.

7. Nice expression, good pose, but not such a good location and you've cropped too close to the front.

8. Cropped fingers on her right hand, slightly over-exposed, and the expression; looks like she's going to slap you.

9. Nice conversion, just a bit under-exposed (~ 1/2 stop), but really don't like the angle.

Overall, some nice work, and creative thinking with a few minor technical issues. The comments on poses and expressions are purely subjective; if they work for you and her, that's what counts.

Just my $00.02 worth - your milage may vary.
