I like the second one best. The softer focus and the light through the umbrella really work for me.

Love shot 2 Raiven...very nice.

I like shot 2 the best, because it has the most flattering skin tones. I also like the colour in the background from the umbrella.

Thanks guys! I think #2 is my preference as well.

Raiven:
My preference if for the third shot; I find the umbrella a little too distracting in the second shot (though as mentioned the skin tones are really much nicer in the second). The third portrait has the background well out of focus and it really brings the viewers attention t o the subject's face. I also like the eyes in the third, very expressive. I like it.
Cheers

I like shot 2 the best as well. i really like the colours in the umbrella which go with that hair thingy in the front. I wish she was looking at us though.

I like the last (desaturated) picture. Her look seems so thoughtful and the colours are fitting the scene!
