This would benefit from a much shallower dof, I think a big help for you would be to get a 50mm 1.8, just for standard portraiture. It is a cheap lens that really gets the job done. Still though a nice shot, and love the expression, nicely done.

My biggest suggestion for this shot would be taking out the little bush on the left side of the photo, and then maybe a little bit of brightening the image. Its a pretty scene, but there isn't a subject that really makes it stand out. It lacks something that my eye automatically goes to, still a nice shot though, keep it up.

neat shot, nice composition, the lighting looks a little bit harsh, I'm not sure if you bounced the flash, if not try bouncing it off a wall, to give it softer lighting, cool shot though, nicely done.

Very unique shot, i think something that would help out a lot, would be better lighting, the lighting looks pretty harsh. I like the idea, and definitely a cool shot, nice job.

At first glance I thought the colors were over-saturated, but now looking at it i think it adds a lot. One change i would have would be a shallower dof, the twigs in the back draw my eyes away from the subject, nice shot though.

Sweet colors, its a little grainy, but nice stopped motion, and an interesting shot.

I really like the shallow dof here, it gives it an almost abstract feel, it could use work with contrast, maybe bump it up a little bit more, still a great shot though.
