Nice! Really like #1 and #3. #2 is my fav, but if you had taken it at a simliar angle as #1 (where the top line of window was more at the top part of her head instead of going right through the middle of it) I think it would have been perfecto =) I'm really a noob though, so don't take my C&C too seriously! =P

On 1,2,3 this would have improved the shots. Quite a bit.

 

[barfastic]

by that you mean a frame?

 

[ajkramer87]

By that he means shooting vertical.

 

[barfastic]

oh.... hehehe... maybe i could crop them to be more vertical!

 

[PerfectlyFlawed]

+1 to Vertical.

OK. As I know nothing about portrait photography, why the high ISO?

 

[nahtanoj]

i like #3 a lot. i'd like to see her eye brought out a little more to make it pop.

IMO:
The macro shots are supposed to be close up, so I don't want to see all that dead space.

i really like 3 nice lighting, good capture.
