I think the 3rd one is the best from a lighting standpoint. The first 2 look blown out to me.

The first one was a bit blown out which is why I converted it to black and white but even though its bright I really like it. I used a white board to bounce my flash off of, still trying to work out all the various settings.
Thanks

#1 is a little to blown for me.
#3 is more a grey/black conversation and looks a little muddy.
I really like #2.

I agree, but what do you mean by grey/black conversation ?
does it need to be brighter?

by grey/black conversation, I mean there is no real white in your black/white. As a result it looks muddy. If you look at #3 and compair it to number #2, you'll see that number two isn't as crispy/clean. It's more grey.
Thanks for the complement.

no problem. I really like the pose in #3, just the conversation wasn't working. I'm sure once it was brightened up it looks great.

#1, #2, #3 are soft...too soft. The eyes HAVE to be sharp.
all three don't "pop" for me...they seem like they are pretty low contrast.
Also, the main thing is that the lighting is flat...it needs to show a bit of shape in her face.
It seems like the light source was "on axis" or close to it.
It should be more to the side in my opinion...the catch lights in her eyes should be at 10pm or 2pm.

I agree with the previous assessments, but my first reaction? She is having fun! That is obvious and what comes across despite the recommended technical changes. What a nice job of capturing this young lady having pure old-fashioned fun.
