Some portraits from this weekend

Hi - had some family visiting this weekend. Took a series of portraits - would be interested to hear what you think:

Full set is here: http://johnloydall.co.uk/sessions/

Here's a selection:

#1 is a fine portrait...love the soft lighting and b/w toning
#2 how about a tighter crop and reducing the color red a bit...she looks 'blushed' in a way
#3 the light seems a little to hard...only little skin structure left on her face and her right arm is distracting
#4 their skin looks kind of gray on my screen...I like their posing

Cheers.

Courtesy of some post processing pointers over on POTN - here's another edit of that shot (cleaned up the forehead and a few other areas):

Really nice editing there. Only thing that pops out as out of place is how white her left eye is. Otherwise I am really digging the tones and lighting on this shot.
