You asked for some critiques of your recent uploads, and advice on what you could do differently.

With this photo you have captured a pretty expression, and the girl is in a pleasing and natural pose. Unfortunately the way it has been framed feels a little haphazard; I perhaps would have preferred more of the arm in shot. The skin has gathered under her armpit, which isn't flattering - it may be that you can do a bit of cosmetic readjustment in photoshop, although it would probably be easier to avoid it altogether through different framing. The three other things that stand out to me are the noise, particularly on the arm nearest the bench back; a section of the hair has lost detail; and the white patch of bokeh that enters through one ear and passes out the other.

This all sounds very negative - it isn't meant as such. Take from it what is useful to you, and discard the rest!

Psychedelic Shoes

Psychedelic seems appropriate for the subject matter, especially the boot towards the bottom of the frame. For me, this doesn't have the same level of success as the Tequila bottle, which I really admired, as it seems a little too cluttered - viewing again, I think that is perhaps down to the reflections in the glass.
