Hi, I recently bought a Nikon D3100 with kit lenses and accessories. I'm just getting started on my photographic journey. Below are a couple of photos that I took and edited with light room and Photoshop. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. With that last image it says you have creativity. I believe the first image needs to be lightened up and contrast beefed up. My 3 cents.

Thanks for the critique. I agree that the first one needs a little contrast and lightning.

A pretty good start. Keep experimenting, and practicing. Try some Butterfly Lighting.

If you are going to do portraits with strobe, get familiar with fill and bounce flash. Rotate the head up and attatch a #10 white envelope to the back with a rubber band. It will make a huge difference.

The second and third shots are well done. The first is underexposed. Good work for starters!
