I think the third one is the most flattering for this subject. The first one doesn't quite do it for me...the angle I think. I like all the rest though!

I like the third and the fifth. She's cute, and both of those pictures allow her to be. Not to mention they help lend to the air of innocence, not sure if that is a good thing in your mind, but it helps show some character to the subject, IMO.

*makes a note to self: in America seniors appear to be young people not old people. Pfft - go figure.

These are great! 2nd, 3rd & 5th. I love the variety of poses and that you can really see her personality.

 

[ShutterBug4_4]

These are really good! My favorites are the 2nd and 3rd. Good work.

Fantastic work.

You might want to avoid using a wide-angle lens for portraits like in the first pic. It distorts the image. I like the rest, though. Nice jorb!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this two seperate people?

"Seniors" can refer to old folks, but it also refers to people in their forth/last year of high school or college. "Senior photos" usually refers to portraits taken in the last year of high school.

#1 is the one I like the best. Wonderful location. It looks like it was taken with a slightly wide or normal lens, and I think it would have been a bit more flattering with a longer lens (same composition). The shorter focal length exagerates the size of her legs in the foreground, and makes her head look small. A longer focal length would make it look more natural.

In #4 the lighting comes across as kind of harsh, although this could be an illusion due to the solid black background. A background light would help here.

The rest are nice. I like the BW, of course.

imo number 1, 3,4 are the ebst... I really like the light in 4 althoug her blouse is a bit over exposured and her foot is cropped out. But even though those are very nice pics
