Good, but a bit too close to the backdrop. Pulling them away would help the shadows a little...

Good b/w shot but a little bit blurry.

Nice pose and composition. Perhaps move the girls farther away form the back ground to lessen the dark shadow.

flash is throwing some harsh shadows

try bouncing flash instead

I think this is a little soft and could possibly use a tighter crop so the girls are more of the shot. Introducing some distance between the subject and the background and having a tighter DOF would help blur the background. I love the pose and general idea.

very important to show life in the eyes of your subject. Even if you dont have studio lighting, try to be resourceful and bring some natural light or even a lamp without the shade on it.

Lovely smiles. I like the soft focus. Maybe they could be closer together. The flash cast a terrible shadow, and overall the image is too dark and flat. If you want an unsolicited suggestion, I've found that the omnibounce diffuser works great for this type of shot, i.e. for folks without fancy lights, like me. You need a real flash though, I suspect this is the on board flash. Also, move the young ladies further away from the backdrop.

Cute pose and expressions. Background works well. Straight on flash shows shadows.
