#5 to me very well done.

I like # 4,5,6 because the poses works very well and the lighting is good (attenuated by natural obstacles or with gentle backlight in #6)

A couple of suggestions, if you accept:

- with persons that have a bit large face and some double chin (e.g. #3), hands can make wonders. So try working poses with hands (stretching the skin back, playing with hair etc).
This suggestion was offered to me by famous portrait photographer Piero Casadei.

- girls that wear all black and have pale skin can really be helped by some strong lipstick (e.g. cherry red.) and/or by use of props (flowers, scarf, colourful hat...)

cheers

The 5th image is the best of the series. The angle of view between the girls is very pleasant.

Thanks all for the comments.
In fact I've done as I'm used to do, so without any flash or additionnal light, and letting the models totally free, so without imposing any pose or something else. I'm not a studio guy and prefer natural expressions

Nice series, my favouirites are #2,5 and 8.

I like #8 and #9 and the last one, #12. #9 would have been great if the depth of field was a bit more.

To me the most interesting photos were when the two models were obviously interacting with each other.
