Default Soft and natural - from a young girl`s trial portfolio

I have seen numerous wonderful portrait shots on DPS so far. Some are incredible and kept me speechless... I am obviously not there yet ... however, I share these photos of my favorite model (cousin and friend) with you... they were taken about a year ago, just after I received my new camera. I am a fan of natural lighting (well, as an amateur that is all I have at hand...) and natural beauty, so that is what I took use of. Even though I have made some improvement at knowing and using the camera since then, yet I am still much fond of these early portraits. Hope that you too will enjoy some of them. Any feedback is welcome, as always.

Lovely. I like the 3rd one. Any PP done? Some blurry effect?

Thanks for sharing.

The 2nd and 3rd are nicely done.....Like how the 3rd has the face in clear focus and then fading out...it draws you right to her face

I love the 2nd - you've filled the frame and your composition is great, I'm very drawn to your cousin's eyes.

Love the 4th, b&w was a great choice and I love the expression and texture in the background.

All of these are very good. Great use of lighting and very sharp and clear. The third would be my favorite. I like the smile and the way her eyes are looking slightly toward the camera and down. that look adds some mystery to the image.
