slightly underexposed. and with a blue-ish tint in the white-balance. i think a tighter crop on the left would be good also.

this is a picture where you need a large dof, the headress seems slightly out of the field of focus

white balance issues on this picture. overall picture seems to have an warm tone to it.

the idea is good, but im not sure if the white background is good. if you had a background similar to the one in the older picture, the backgrounds might look more compatible

picture seems a bit oversharpened to where you get some grain on the defined edges.

it's hard to get a lot of light when your subject is facing away from the sun. but it's better than risking weird shadows from the sun. the way to remedy the lack of light is to use a reflector like a piece of white three-ply board.

highlights on the forehead and hand look blownout. but the color and saturation is very good.

hmm the background is a bit too in focus. of course, you're limited by not being able to ask the drummer to move away from the crowd more and by the limitations of your camera lens. however, you can try to get closer and the background blur will increase.

seems a bit overexposed. and i'm not sure if the horizontal format works well. there is not much border space along the left side. usually the phtoographer has a model look off to a side and goes for a horizontal shot he/she leaves room along the side where the model is looking

the picture seems a bit overexposed because the left side of the face shows some blown out highlights. also, it looks like you used window (ambient) light and a lamp. this introduces complications between the color temperature of the lights. thus, you have a blue and orange side of the face due to the different lights. it's best to use a reflector on window portraits instead of a new light source because of this color temperature difference.
