The goal was, to get a dreamy look ... any suggestion is welcomed.
I had a chance to spend an hour with Miss Portsmouth 2018. She had her make-up and hair done by two professionals. She was relaxed, super nice.

Great captures !

Thank you Robert!

I think the makeup is too harsh. They age her and harden her vibe. Your shots are nice but, the makeup plus her unhappy expression is hard to get passed.

Thanks for your comment Teresa.

Your exposure and white balance is all over the place between the 3 images.

I like your first image, though, I would:

1. Have had her eyes well above the center line like you did with the other two.
2a. Adjust the white balance towards blue. That will counter a lot of the orange look.
2b. May need to slightly desaturate the reds.
3. May need to dodge her face some. Looks underexposed.
4. Burn her chin a little. There's that underlight look probably a reflection from the plants.
5. May need to globally up the exposure slightly.

I can show you a quick edit if you like.
