I posted several pictures on the Share Photo's site, then realized I would like some help from those who take portraits. So, I will post my two favorite pictures here and ask for guidance on what could be done to make them better.

Picture #1

Nice! Maybe you could have someone hold a white card in front of her in #1 situations to bounce a bit of light into her eye sockets? That might also lighten the 'bags under her eyes' in #2.
Keep it up!

Thanks for the tip. I didn't even notice the dark eye sockets until you said somthing :lol: . I was able to clean up the bags under her eyes a little in PS.

Thanks for the tip.
