I usually shoot for about two hours before the model relaxes. Personally I don't like the red dress because it will make her look pale. She needs darker lipstick for that dress. I would try a few different outfits. The first two shots are ok if you can't get her back again. In my humble opinion.

Bob,

I love the first photo. If you have the chance, you can take more, but I think you can work with the information you have. Your major challenge is the composition, how to deal with the neckline (not enough), whether to vignette, and all the negative spaces. It will be up to you to figure out how to commit to a color harmony that can work. You can't rely on your photo to tell you

Bob--

I'm with Chris....if you don't experiment more, the first one is far more relaxed looking. Factor in all of Chris's other caveats.

I agree with the first picture. Maybe you can steal some information from the other 2 so that all or most of the lei around her neck shows and more of her dress. You will just have to deal with cropping her bare arms creatively.
