To me this one is the best, good point of view, the models stance is ok, although folded arms tends to be a little "defensive" in terms of body language, interesting background which is also neutral enough not to compete with the girl ... and no harsh direct sunlight to give you exposure/contrast problems

I like this one the best too. The folded arms isn't a problem for me.
Good thing you kept her out of the sunlight, it is too harsh.

Congratulations on your senior photographic series....it's always great to hear of one's success with their hobby.....gives us all encouragement...

This is the nicest. Personally, I would have cropped back from the the left to meet the corner of the cabin wall. I think the difference in the colours is a little distracting. Shooting from low down like this can be unflattering and you have managed to pull it off. Again, I don't mind the folded arms. I expect that your subject was quite shy. If that's the case then you need to spend a lot of time working with them to make make them relax a little more. Try also using a diffused flash set off centre from the camera regardless of the conditions. This will produce better portrait results. Well done on a gorgeous series though!

Not quite shy, but with the whole arm thing, they looked unnatural and awkward anywhere else.

I couldn't think of where else to have her put them...Any suggestions?

Left on her leg and right on her hip would have been good I think.
