#1 is ok but the eyes aren't lit enough and overall the image is dull. #2 and #3 are not flattering to her, at all.

Whattt??.. Charlie is shooting people? How did you light her?

had to hike a 1/2 mile back into Red Rocks to get to where she thought was a good spot. It wasn't! Bright sun and windy. Carried two lightstands and flashes. One for hairlight.. and one of for main. Gold umbrella.. that the wind was playing havoc with. Tried to shoot in the shade where we could... could have used a diffuser that is on order, and hadn't arrived yet. Lovely lady, though. Should have just shot her indoors... but she wanted outdoors. Was just using standard everyday Broad lighting... on her left, with a snooted hairlight in back.

well since im form colorado to i thought id chime in
1 is the best light
#2 the gold reflector (Im assuming) is too warm
#3 something is off with the light or PP. maybe over sharpened.? i think it could use a little more fill on the highlights?
I think you might be over thinking the light a bit. and the background is so far oof the could have been shot in the parking lot not 1.2mile back. maybe the full lengths show more background.

The bra strap in #3 is distracting for me, but probably could be erased or cloned out with photoshop.

Her shoulder has a halo in #1.
