thank you!

First picture is very 'flat' and requires Levels and/or Curves to give the colours some 'pop', and I found the background distracting, needs blurring more. Three in a shot is usually a good idea, but getting in closer might have been a better idea. The old saying, which was driven home to me when I was learning, 'if your photographing a flower - fill the frame with the flower' comes to mind.

Second picture nice idea, but an unfortunate background with a tree growing out of her head, and it's not strait - think.

I don't really know anything about photography, but they look really good from my point of view!

Depth of field is great. The colors are fantastic. I like groupings of threes. I think this shot would work even better with the flowers centered. This is a really good shot! NIce work!

Only thing I see here is the tree growing out of her head! I love the mood of the scene though. Nice work here too!

Pic number one - Either focus on one of the flowers or pull back a little and get just all three.
Pic number two looks fine to me.

I would honestly say they are both good. I would try on the first one to center the flowers more or give it more of a side angle. On the second the girl is just a BIT too dark. Just a smidge more light and you have a masterpiece.

first one, the flower.
The easiest pics to take are flowers and they always look pretty. That and duck pics at the local duck pond.

Good flower pic, very nice, just that I've seen it 10 million times.

The next one, of the girl, I really wish her legs were not cut off. Too much black at the bottom, recrop, it may look better. To me its a tough call. I want to see the legs --- but I'm a guy and I like legs.

It would have been a nice shot.
