#2 I dont know if it's me, but it appears she has a greenish tint to her skin

#3 I'm not sure about the hair and hard shadow on the left side of her face.

her face is shiny, we used say "powder her nose"
other wise I don't see the green tint,
and the shadow is sharp.

Your friend doesn't seem comfortable in front of the camera. Her facial expressions and smiles in the first two images seem forced and unnatural.


#1

• The shadows on her face are dark and sharp. Your light source was too low and far away. Next time try to bring your flash/strobe in very close (about 3-5 feet away) and about 6-8 feet high. This will soften the shadows and give a move natural look as if you were mimicking the sun.
• Also watch for the bright & shiny spots on her forehead and right cheek.
• The two bracelets high on her forearms are distracting.

#2

• Her face is a tad overexposed and the hair on her high should is very messy.
• Also watch for small details like the cover to her zipper open and the white lining to her right pant pocket sticking out.
• Because I cannot see her other arm is gives the illusion she is missing one.

#3

• Again with her hair. It's too close to her eye which is creating a unflattering sharp shadow.
• The hair also looks as though it's coming out of her armpit from above the shoulder and behind her back.
• The grass coming up out from the board near her right hand is distracting.
• The highlights on top of her pant legs is blown out.

Overall I think you've done a decent job balancing the harsh sun and your flash/strobes.
