Autumn time!!

Just wanting some feedback on these photos I took of Autumn, my friend's daughter. I'm still new to shooting in raw and using lightroom. Plus I'm still learning how to use my Canon! Thanks!! (I'm having trouble getting my pictures to be sharp since alot of people say my photos are soft, so any help on that would be greatly appreciated!!!)

The photo that stood out to me was the color closeup, second to last. Nice expression, and love those freckles! I would try to lighten up her eyes though, as they are quite dark in that shot and would definitely crop it. I would crop it to lessen the impact of her arm and elbow that is so prominent in front of her facial area. That photo is a good example of why people should wear long sleeves for photos. That huge chunk of white skin draws so much attention away from the face! People like to wear what makes them feel good though, and don't think of the photographic implications, without some direction from the shooter. I know you can't unring a bell but, picture that shirt with long sleeves. From the shoulder on down, with a tighter crop, that continuous fabric would almost make a "frame" for her face. If you swallow what I'm feeding you, the best you can do at this point is minimize the large white expanse of elbow and arm via creative cropping, making those adorable brown sugar freckles really stand out. cute kid.

The last one is super cute! I'm no pro or anything, but I think the first one would've been better if she was looking at the camera...and maybe a closer crop too because the background is a little bit busy. I really like the second to last one though! I think you framed her face really well.
