I like the first, very nice. The second has the red reflection of her hat on her face. Don't know if this could be removed in
PS.

I like the first also. good light and the had makes a good composition.
as mentioned, the 2nd has a red cast on the face. possibly some fill would have helped, but better to be aware of potential issues such as this and avoid them. you notice also that the whites are quite hot on the shirt.
seems to be taken with the sun high and therefore quite strong
BTW: seems sharp enough. I guess you have been practicing your techniques after the other thread.

Thanks Steve and Shelia , these shots where taken before my dramas with the camera,, I am going to put all the setting back to default, and just up the sharpening, see how that goes, did a few practise runs this afternoon, on tripod,

Lovely Suzanne. I do agree with teh previous comments that some fill would help to diffuse the red in teh second shot. She's a cutie and I'm sure you'll give your D200 a workout around her.

lovley shots........ like all photography these 2 pix's can be improved
this is what I would do, but as you are the photographer and are happy with the pix's, is what is important.........
1: I find the first pix great but would warm the shot a just little as it looks a little cyan or cold but only in colour
2: this is also good but I find the face just a little dark, the red on the face does not worry me as it is a natural reflection off the hat, and a lot of this will go if the face was a little lighter....... have a play in curves......

These are great captures, find the first really catching, such a great expression and moment, terrific hat, great pose, like this...
The shadow in the second doesn't worry me... If you want to play in PP, I'd be tempted to sharpen up the eyes a smidge in the first...?
