I think they all look fine minus the fourth one one, you've given her a less then appealing "non living" look.

but depending one what feel your trying to convey determines what color you choose.

Going across, I like 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10. 9 and 10 have the best expression. I'm currently going through a B&W phase so I favor 9. Nice work.

First off, changing the shot in the last two just isn't playing fair.

For me... if you take what you did in the 3rd to last shot and apply it to the last shot, that would be my favorite.

I think the cool tones of the second work best with her expression, and I like the last two as well.

I think they all work except for the purple and green ones. The purple one seems to add too much purple cast below and around her eyes. The green one does the same and also makes her eyes look really green. You could always just mask this out.

Wow! Tough call. I do love the last two shots. I do think the purple is a little much but the rest are great for different reasons.

To me, it depends on what you are trying to say with the photo. What I "hear" is the contrast between the grungy background and the pure, white wedding dress. So, for this message, I think #8 and #10 say it best. And I like the smile the best! It even better conveys the contrast between grunge and wholesome.

I like #1, 2, 9, and 10.
The purple, I personally would be much better if you masked Erin against the purple background. I love purple, but the whole image also has the purple cast.

Heather,

All of the images, except the last 2, make her skin look like it was coated with gesso, sanded smooth, then stained a faded color. Sorry but I don't see a bride paying good money for any of the first 8 you are showing. I don't think they would make good portfolio images either because there are too many negatives inherent in the photograph. Even the last two are borderline, but acceptable. The images look overexposed with no detail or texture.
