Hello Chuck,

The first three are a bit stiff. It appears that you attempted to take these photos in low light with the camera hand held. This is tough to do. If you don't have a tripod try resting the camera on a chair back or lean yourself against a wall. Even at that it's a hit and miss when you get below a 30th of a second on your shutter speed.

The last photo shown has a more appealing, comfortable expression but has two problems that I see. First the hand, this is not a good place to cut the hand off, a bit of a faux pas. Secondly, the angle you have chosen is a bit too high above the subject. Sometimes you just have to bend your knees and get down there to eye or just below eye level.

I hope you don't mind, I took your last shot and diddled with it. I love these compositional puzzles. If I only had these four pic's to work from I would do something like below. Just one guys take, good luck.
