portraits ***

I like the color here--like Wyeth with a smile. Nicely observed.

Nicely composed with an interesting color combination and infectious smile. My only suggestion would be to crop out some of the grass that is out of focus in the foreground.  In my opinion it distracts from an otherwise lovely shot.

Very genuine and charming portrait.  Maybe my monitor is a little darker than yours, but I would lighten her face a bit.  I increased the saturation a little too.  But,  like I said, maybe my monitor is set too dark, so in that case if my example looks too light--"never mind," hehe. 

Old film scan, Steve, lighter looks good.
