Few natural lights portraits

Those shots were taken around 6-7pm, all natural light in M mode. I am trying to figure out the exposure compensation. Looking forward for your awesome advise and critique. Thank you all!

The exposures look fine to me.  In #1 the quality of the light is a little hard.  One way to deal with this is to use a scrim or diffusion panel.

Thank you Kelly for your valuable and prompt response. Do you think I can compensate for that in post since I am a solo photographer and equipment is limited. I also try to learn as much as I can about pure natural light since it's beautiful and requires less equipment to carry around. If I load my mind with equipment setting, posing and expressions are out the door. I am already nervous before any shooting regardless. I am very determined to find something unique or really good, if not, I will stick to my 15 yrs old regular job until I retire and take decent photos of my family vacation. Thank you again! GM

If you are using Lightroom you could try setting the Clarity slider to some negative value.  The opposite of the typical Clarity setting.  Otherwise, just lightly brush the offending areas with a brush set to Blur.

I got a rule about everything, If it works, don't fix it! Those are super shot's to my eye's, I'd leave them alone! A lot of photo's I see look over cooked to me, product of someone thinking with just a bit more PP they can make it better.
