Took these about a month ago with a friend of mine, just looking for anything i can do to improve.

An interesting beginning. Now you need to look at posing, composition and postprocessing of portraits. There is a lot to learn.

Please note you'll get better feedback if you only post 1 picture at a time.

For the first picture, her skin tone screams "ZOMBIE!" at me.
The second is too busy - good concept, but the artificial yellowing, lens flare, and general business of the composition ruins it. Oh how I wish you'd taken about 5 steps straight towards your subject and about 3 steps to the right, then shot it portrait.
The third is an exercise in why shooting in direct sunlight is not usually a great idea. The sharp shadows from her arm and nose tend to both distort her visage. The whole shot also feels underexposed.

You have good ideas - keep shooting!

Fejo, you should post your image in a new thread so that you don't cause confusion in TDShoots' thread -- and you'll get more feedback that way.
