Jeez people, cool down, aren't we all here to learn?
@elizpage I think one of your mistake is that you grew attached to your images. Which is kind of normal when you think about it. However, if you learn to detach yourself and not "appreciate" your own work in some way, you'll be able to take in a bit better criticisms and even do better criticism of your own work by yourself. Why I say this is because the moment someone say something that isn't levelled to your opinion you seems to be going on the defensive-aggressive. Which in turn make some... other people turn on fully aggressive.
Now for the criticisms, I didn't read all of the other's comment so I'm sorry if I repeat something already said.
-First thing I see is that the pictures are a bit dark, they were probably taken on a cloudy day if I'm not mistaken. In such situation you might want to increase a stop or two higher than you normally would on a normal day.
-There is a line in the background that is intersecting with the edge of your subject's head in the first picture. Composition rules state you should avoid such intersection for good reasons. You can easily fix those by "learning to see the world on a flat plane instead of a 3D plane" as my teacher always say. I personally find that looking at the edge of your screen in a clockwise motion help to spot such line ( and also those pesky speck of grass in the corners in other situation).
-Background for the second picture is terrible, I'm sorry but this one has to go. There's no nice way of saying this nor any corrective you can apply.
-When posting in a section that isn't "just for fun", you might want to post the finished product unless you have question about a retouching aspect of the image.
-Colour is good
-Focus is tact sharp
-Expression and posing is good, did you also direct her what to wear and what pose to do ?
Glad you enjoy your new 6D, I'm planing to upgrade to it very soon too actually. I was hesitating between the 5DmkIII and the 6D, and when I compared low light performances, the 6D came out on top. 1500$ less expensive is a big bonus too.
