    Nice portraits, liking 3 the best.

    perhaps clone out the patch of white sky top right ?

    When you retouch, make sure you don't leave any traces of what you have done, otherwise people will notice them and that will catch their attention, rather than the image itself.

    In the first image, the camera left side of the hair is really rough looking. A bit more work in post to smooth that out would be worth considering. I might be tempted to desaturate the grass and trees a bit too. The colours are just a bit too vibrant to be believable. That hot area on the camera left arm does not look quite right, given the lighting elsewhere in the image.

    The second image I have two issues with. The first is the bright gap just to the left of the post(?) on the left. A tiny crop to remove that discontinuous area might be worth considering. I also find the colour of the area above her head to be a bit contrived. It just does not seem to fit with the rest of the shot.

    With the third shot, I agree with Peter's comment about the bright area at the top right. It draws our attention away from the subject.
