The color/exposure is great, overall I'd say that you should get them to look more at the camera, though.

I agree with Adam. They are real nice shots but a little more interaction of the girls with the camera and they would be top notch Adrian.--charliezap

Photo #5 shows the advantage of camera interaction, a good thing to keep in mind. The charm of #3 & 4 would have been completely lost however if you had drawn attention to the camera. Capturing a moment in "their" world like this is sweet and magic and is something you and they will cherish "looking back", good job. As artist we don't want to be obsessed with following the RULES of photography we want to be creative and have fun.

thanks Adam and Charlie - for portrait style shots i would agree to have them looking at the camera would be ideal - however as Jaytee pointed out (and i tend to agree) part of what i like about these is that they are just in their own little world.

The last 2 are winners....love them. Mostly with the others the framing bothers me - especially when a hand or a leg is missing. Other than that, overall good work.

Nice shots. Whilst I generally agree with Adam re looking towards the camera, can I suggest for that first shot a bit of vignetting and a application of a gaussian blur to set up a dream type effect.
