Okay, question - are you shooting in an automatic mode or by using the camera's meter for exposure?
The problem you have here is that on average, the whole picture area is quite bright, but the areas you are interested in (where the model is) are not as bright. So you get a really blah looking picture because on average, the model is sort of dark and the background is overdone...
Your point of focus is also not very sharp on the model. In each picture, there is a much sharper point either in front or behind her. Camera auto focus often freaks out in wide open spaces and gives you a very weird result.
While it is hard to tell on a compressed image, the last picture appears to have pretty good focus on her foot.
Are you using manual focus or automatic? If automatic, are you using a single spot or an overall general average?

Thanks your reply!!!
I am in fact using auto focus and not one point but the average; I guess that was/is a bad move. Hm, as for the camera setting, I am shooting on "P".
Grrr... hehe. Well... I guess for my 3rd little experiment... arg
Last shoot, I shot mainly close ups, so the averaging was decent. I guess, with these types of poses and light differences, I should be using the one-point focus.
