Nice.
#1 seems framed a bit to the right too much. cut off elbow but lots of dead space on the left.
#2 is good I would just open your shutter a lil and get more background light

thanks guinness

The exposure on both of these is to my liking. As Guiness said, in the first photo you should watch for cropping limbs.

For the second photo, I would crop it to be an 8x10/4x5 (I happen to really like that ratio). If you cropped it 8x10 and got her closer to the right hand side of the frame, more in line with the rule of thirds I think it would make for a stronger composition.

The first one appears to have a slight cool tinge to it, atleast to my eyeballs on my screen (calibrated of course).

On the second one, I dont think you gained anything from that landscape framing, and would have preferred to see more of her ve the foliage.

IMHO, there's too much flash to a point where lighting is flat and it looks unnatural. Otherwise, it's nicely exposed.

Totally - and way tooo blue.
She's over at one side, you've clipped the elbow and yet there's all that space on the other side.

On-camera flash - now cut that out!!!

Commander mode triggering off camera flash ?

Perhaps - but the flash is just blasting out all the texture in the skin.
