Becky,

I think overall you did a nice job, but something is off about the exposures, as has been mentioned. Your images are tack sharp, for that you should be proud, but the first one looks too flat...not flat lit, mind you, but I lose a sense of depth with the background. I know that someone here has addressed that issue, but my mind gets all messed up when I think about more light, less light, wider aperture, less aperture, stepping up and stepping down. Sometimes it is crystal clear and sometimes it is looking at a crystal ball full of mud.
