My first go at trying total off camera flash. Don't need C&C on each one, but a general overall "How did I do?" would be appreciated.

Overall, very well done! The photos are well-composed, too! I think you did a very good job with the lighting, and apart from a few hot spots here and there, it'd say it greatly enhances all the images

Apart from generally slight overexposure in these shots, I agree that they're appealing in subject matter and composition, particularly #3.

The lighting looks natural to me. You can't use the flash any better than that.

Thanks for the comments. Flash was being shot through an umbrella, so it helped give me nice soft light.
