I can't give you any great advice as I am learning myself. I think these are great first attempts. I think your hairlight is great as it separates her hair / head from the background. I think you have a nice shadow under the nose and the left side of the face. I can't tell for sure, but I think there is a slight shadow over the left eye. I'm not sure I like that, but it is very subtle. I think you have definately achieved a more 3D look. I think the fill could be a little less to give more shadow, but that is just me. Try playing with the light to subject difference or placing some diffusion between the fill light. Also play with the height of the key light.

Best advice I can give you is to take notes as you take shots. That way when you are reviewing them on the CPU later your notes will help guide you through any changes you made in lighting (ie. distance, height, etc). Have fun. Thanks for sharing.
