My opinions...Take them with a grain of salt. No offence intended in any way.

1 - Nothing of interest in this particular shot. I like how the wind has captured her hair though.

2 - I wish the dog was looking at the ball coming at him. The shirt blowing off her back is a little distracting if you ask me. I like the fact that the ball is identifiable - a softball, right?

3 - Crooked horizon. Nice smile and good capture of emotion I think.

4 - Love this picture but I wish I could see a little more of the dog.
