Hi Kim! I'm new at this so take my input for what it's worth.
Wanted to let you know I just love the strong diagonal in your first photo. The photo was a bit dark but still a nice image, still usable, I think. I just finished a portrait from a rather dark reference photo and had to play around with it a lot on the computer to pull out some of the detail I needed - gotta love that digital photography!
I would want to see just a bit more of her iris, though so that her eyes didn't look blank. I hope you don't mind, I took a copy of the picture and played with it in Paint Shop Pro to brighten it up a bit and adjust her eye... Don't think you'd want the background quite that bright, but you could see her a little better to paint from, anyway.
