Candid shot at a friends birthday party. They had a white and black backdrop involving paper that I used as a background. Agreed, it is distracting, but I didn't get time to set up the shot properly. And I didn't even know the girl! ;)

Beautiful shot. Another thing you could do is to move the model further away from the background, increase the ISO a bit (mabe to 400) and then increase the aperture to get a shallower depth of field. If you had to think about all that, you probably would have missed the spontaneity of the moment. It's so easy to critique after the shot has been taken :)

A ghreat portrait, almost candid and with a lovely sense of fun. Agree the folds in the background are distracting and spoil the pic. Could you blur them out? Colour good (although IMO her foundation make up is a little too much) and very sharp. 5 would probably cropped more on the left as her head is at a great angle .

Owe this one is good, very good! I would iron out the wrinkles in the background, other than that fantastic shot.

It feels joyful. I like the way it looks natural, you haven't overprocessed it as I am often tempted to do.

The framing is just a little off, I think it should have been cropped a little higher.
