Hi-ho,
I'll start with the mandatory she's pretty... :-).
The background you've got i nthat first one is quite distracting, although the potrait itself is well exposed.. You've got the focus bang on and nice shallow DOF.
The second one. Well, I'm not sure what to make of that. You've breaken the 'dont shoot up a girls nose' rule, and the shot just dosn't work for me..
The third one suffers from that large white blob in the background. I also think that chopping of her feet was a bit mean, as you'd got in the whole of her legs.
The pose isn't quite working for me, it looks like she's bracing herself with her left arm, to avoid falling off the tree branch. Maybe having her 'hug' her knees with the free arm would have looked more relaxed? Not sure, as it would depend on her balance, and how wide the branch was! The leaning forward posture also crunches up her middle, and makes her look a little heavier in the middle than she really is.
Overall nice photos though, you're lucky to have a pretty and willing model to work with.
Thanks for sharing..
As always, just my 2c worth.
