I really like your first photo. The way the girl is looking up and the fur trimmed hood around her face reminds me of the paintings of Jesus and the crown of thorns/glowing halo. I also like the colors involved. Very earthy.

In the second photograph, it appears more like you're focusing on the background than the girl. It's got a spy vibe to it in regard to the house our focus is drawn to, and I don't know that that was what you were going for. For me, there's just too much background going on. Maybe if the girl had been looking at the house it would work better.

The third photo has a lot of contrast. Was this added or in the original file? I like the idea of the shot, but the pose seems a bit unnatural.

Do you have any more from the day?

Remember, I’m new at this…

#1 – I would have liked to see both eyes and I would crop a bunch off the bottom.

#2 – I would start by straightening it and then cropping the cabin off the top.

#3 – I take this as a more moody/contemplative work which is going to appeal differently to each viewer. I think that the trail going on in the background is important and would look for ways to emphasize it.

In the first I feel the blowing out sky behind her hurts the image. I like the second one because you has caught a bit of her character. But I feel you could lose most of the upper part of the image. The house is distracting. I would like to see her eyes in the last one. Open the lens up some and blur the background more as well.

This is a pretty common thing with point & shoot cameras as the distance between the lens and sensor is shorter. If you have manual settings on your camera, try to get the aperature down to the smallest Fstop # it will let you, that will help some. Be careful with adding blur afterward, as I can see some odd misalignments in the last two photos you posted.
