Post prepossessing in photoshop with contrast and lighting. How do they look? Any tips for my next shoot?

there fine - i like that these images have a natural feel to it. but rather on focusing what is good i would like to make some suggestions to think about the next time (stuff i am missing).

- try getting closer or further away (she has almost equal sice in every picture, do a close up, a shot from her wrist up to her head, and maybe one more from top to bottom)
- try more perspectives ( from the side, from the back over her shoulders, from bottom or top)
- try against and with the light (light can have a huge impact on your image)(!!!)
- try different face expressions, a smile is cute, but sometimes no expression is better.
- try different focal lengths (if possible) to blur the background even more or make it more crisp (this is very technical >_<)
- try to give the image some "meaning" by interacting with sth. eg. touch a flower, walk along the rails, walk the street, give it some "story"
- put all this together and smash it into peaces this is no guidance, you did a great job! :)
