children portrait

I was messing around with my cousin and I took her pictures while she was playing around. I like some critics as I like to get better. I'm not particularly happy with the composition in the first one, any tip?

Not sure about the composition on the first one (kinda looks like it was that, or nothing - grab shot, if you know what I mean), but I love the lighting. Bordering on under-exposed, but not quite. (What is that she's playing with?)

yeah, my little cousin was messing around with her bubble gum. I thought I underexpose the first shot too but it look fine in the RAW file, the camera jpeg just look off.

For the second shot, I was trying out shooting at a wide angle, 18 mm on the kit lens. I try to incorporate her environment in the composition, so I put her under the table where alot of kids spend their time hiding from each other lol.
