I'm not sure about the shadows on the wall but I think they add a little to the shots rather than just being all white. I would appreciate you comments!

Thanks!

I like the first one in the sequence (the one looking down and away). I am a fan of candids. The shadow of lighting adds to the "candid[ness]" of it IMHO.

Hey...Good stuff. At this stage, the third is the strongest but this is highly due to the white background. In PS, if you could alter the first to have a whiter background i agree that it would be the strongest. I could do without the shadows though but that's personal preference.

Lee :) Look forward to seeing more or edits.

I like the first one the best. I like the third one a little better than the second one because you have a slightly better expression (the expression in the second one strikes me as "I am so not amused.") I think I may prefer it if the whites were dead white rather than a grayish white that they are now.

Like the first best. The wall looks incidently darker. If it was a little darker, it would look intentional and the shadow would blend in a little more, making it look intentional also. The other two look more like passport portraits, which is ok if that's what you are going for. The third one has the better pose of the two. With your head turned a bit, you look more 3d.
Were you using just the one light? I can only see one catchlight.
