Here's a few of mine, I've just started to get into portrait photography, as you may be able to tell by these:
James, Killer job on these and for a noob in Portrait Photography ---well, lets just say you have the knack and I am envious. I could see parents paying a lot of money for shots like these.

The first shot---Love it, what a smile you captured on this little girl and the mix and vividness of the colors are outstanding, the only critique I can offer is maybe tighten up on the crop just a little, but not too much--you still want to keep much of the tree and leaves in the pic.

Second Shot: Perfect don't touch it. Very sharp face with the leaves in action and again gorgeous colors and great crop.

Third Shot: Love the way you did the black and white with the ladybug in color and I really like this crop as well. I also like the ladybug being the focal point----it just works----Frame this one.

Last shot----Great framing, back ground and pose---and of course, wonderful subject with a another great smile. The only comment I have for this one is the lighting is a little harsh and appears that it was camera mounted; try practicing with your flash off camera or bouncing it of the wall or cieling.

Again, Great series and beautiful model---very, very nice work.

Bob
