Hiya hi.spazzy,

In the future, it would really be helpful if you gave us the data of the photo such as shutterspeed/fstop/iso etc as it will help us give you as good comments as possible.

Both of the images are incredibly grainy. If that's what you were going for, you succeeded, but I'm not really a fan of it in these photos. I'd really run these through a grain removing filter depending on your software.

The one with the back of your head has a really interesting feel to it. I like how it makes you wonder WTF?? I just wish the sink faucet and knobs weren't in it. Had you kept it simpler, it would have had more impact in my opinion. the muted colors also work well for me.

The other one, I like the effort, but it's just too dark for me to really like it. Plus, it feels a bit posed. Yes, of course, almost all photos are posed (especially portraits), but sometimes they feel natural, and to me, this doesn't.

In the end, I like the direction you're going with these. Keep it up.

What are you trying to say here? Your photo doesn't tell me anything, was there a point to it? Sorry, but it just doesn't work for me.

spazzy just to add to their comments. It is also a bit helpful if you have a good title in your image so that readers will understand what is purpose of your image and why did you shoot it that way. A few descriptions will help as well.

Welcome to DPS and keep on shooting!!!

It would appear that the lighting is focused on the closest point to the camera. On the sideways shoot her shoulder is highlighted. In the other its her back. This draws your eyes from the rest of the photo. The graineness of the photo also distracts from the subject.
