    I like the first one a lot. The second one I don't know. I see what your going for but just missing something for me. Third one another great one. Keep up the good work.
    Learning more and more everyday about photography!!!!

    The most important thing is you remember to have fun!

    1. Like the composition and the tones. Think its a nice image.
    2. This shot is just busy to me. You have the tummy, bright arms and hand, busy dress texture/pattern, contrasts between very bright to mild on her chest. Id play around with some different angles and see if they would provide a bit more feeling and focus for the image.

    3. Nice shot of the boy. I looks like you used an on camera flash to light his face up a little bit. Its noticible around the eyes for me which takes away from the natural feel to the image.

    Keep up the good work!

    I think the angle of the first shot is wrong. The viewer has no clue as to what the boy turned to look at. The second one has a bit of a pop to it already. Perhaps if the man's right arm was lower and around the woman's upper belly mirroring his left it would have given the shot a geometrically repetitive look. Am I making sense at all? I wish I could explain things better. Nice shots nevertheless.

    It may be that i'm up way past my bedtime, but 1 & 3 seem out of focus? the 2nd seems like you were down low shooting upwards, it is missing something but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe not such a tight crop, or possibly a black background instead... the male hands also seem to be more aggressive than loving.
