new here: some portraits

[Morning Dusk]

Hi, i'm fairly new here at Digital Grin and i'm very new at doing portraits. So I thought i would show ya'll some portraits i took just recently. Which these photos are my first portrait photos that i have taken.
The photos are of one of my cousins goofing around while i tried to get shots.
I would love feedback, comments or critiques :D

These are really great! Good editing, lighting, etc.

But why is #3 so dark?

Welcome to Dgrin!! :D

#1 and #2 are my favorites. Maybe cropped out the limbs on the top of #2.

I love #1 and particularly #2! The stick in #3 bothers me, since it looks like it's about to bisect her body :dunno

But welcome to Dgrin!! :barb
