This is an example where I'm at an event and I spot someone who I think ifs very photogenic so I ask them if I can take some photos. As you can see these are not exactly composed, you can see the plastic chair she's sitting in and another object or two in the back ground.
One of the challenges I have as a photographer is determining which of my photos are the best, so I'm asking my MM pals to give me some feedback on which of these you think are the best and why if you would be so kind. And if you had to pick only one to publish, which one would that be?
Some of these are very similar and I took them in close to full sun and it shows a bit.
I'm open to any suggestions and feedback that you have for me. Thanks very much.

Thanks, is this an improvement? And in the RAW image her eyeballs are crystal clear, I can see my reflection in them, so the lack of clarity might be the smaller, lower resolution copy I'm using to post here. I get the color casting though, and the lack of detail in her skin.

8. after suggestions
8. before
Now those are rich brown eyes, with out the blue cast in the white areas
Improvement = yes

Compositionally, many of the images are similar, but in terms of color quality (ignoring the B&Ws) they're all over the road. Keep your color temperature under control. Also avoid saturating the colors. Keep the face looking natural.
Especially THAT face. She's lovely and doesn't need a lot of help.
One determinant in breaking ties between these pics: seeing the eyes. Unless you're shooting for the benefit of a MUA, you probably shouldn't be bothering with images of the model with her eyes shut. Let's see those peepers.

She is indeed amazing, is she not? Most of these were shot very over exposed and what you see is my attempt to correct that. I shot all these in RAW and I've learned a few tips from this thread so I'm planning to redo them all over again soon. I think I can improve several of them.
It's interesting to see what shots other people like the most.
