They are quite the same for me... Too little variation in posing / framing / lightning. It also a a bit too blue-ish for me. Your light balance / sharpness is good.

The two things that strike me are that she looks a little glum, and also she needs to move away from the background to avoid the shadows. They are not bad in my opinion as they are well focused and the lighting is good.

Thanks Neon Photo, she's a tough one to make smile, I managed it in a few pictures by bribing her with chocolate and sweets

I like the last shot because of her playful expression.  I would agree with the comments provided by others (i.e., lighting, expression, sharpness).

The main issue is that the white balance off. I don't know if you were using AWB or not but I would recommend setting the white balance manually. If you were using flashes (looks light you were) then set it to 'flash' and the problem is solved. I always take manual control of the white balance. That way, even if the balance is off, there are no surprises and the results are consistent

Btw, Canon really needs to let us save more than one custom WB. What do most Nikon's allow? 5 or so?

The Canon EOS 5D Mk II has 3 personal presets, the  EOS-1Ds Mk III and EOS-1D Mk IV have 5.
The Nikon D700 and D90 have 4, and the D300s and D3s have 5.

Unedited (little warm- but that's AWB in Program mode and Portrait style):

Shot number 50 on my 60D.  Taken with a Kiron 105mm, hand held, indoors, with no flash.  Not the best rig.  Although it was just a test shot, it is her favorite.
