I have to be different! Number 1 for me is the one I like least - because of the flash used. I really do like the others very much though - especially numbers 3 and 4... they are really wonderful - very retro looking!

All are well composed and reasonably well exposed. I like the use of fill flash on the first photo although I would have tried to move the direction of the flash off the camera to one side. A reflector as simple as a white piece of cardboard would have done the trip. Head-on fill flash is too obvious.. The remaining shots have a yellow color caste when you compare the whiteness of the young lady's teeth in shot one to the rest.
The color caste in the teeth could be corrected with a gentle lightening with the dodge tool. After a slight levels adjustment and shadows adjustment in just the eyes the added pop may produce a more flattering portrait.
You have a great set here and are showing a lot of promise with your work. Keep shooting!
