Both are beautiful pictures of a beautiful girl. The only thing I might try would be to crop a little off the right side of the second one, but I'll assume you already tried that and like it as is. Excellent photos.

These are lovely. If they were mine, I would put them in a frame and start showing them off!

Both are outstanding. I would be happy with either one. The second one is my favorite but really like them both. Love the color and shadows. Of course, the subject is beautiful as well! Very nice. Print them and hang them on the wall!

If it were me I would frame and hang them, especially the first one. Here is a link to an interesting article on low key photography from DP Magazine you might be interested in. It pretty much fits with your first picture. Sorry, I couldn't make a link so had to spell it out. Bill

I have to tell you. I wish all of my underexposed photos looked like that. Very nicely done.

As others I do not see much fault with these in terms of exposure. You may want to play slightly with the contrast and/or shadow detail but very carefully-too much and everything just goes muddy on you. There is a richness to her skin tones that you do not want to lose.

I am very critical of my work. I just alway want to improve but it seems I’m at a standstill at best or regressing. Thanks for the encouragement.

Beautiful young lady. I too think the image exposure is good. I did not detect excessive noise, which can happen in underexposed photos. I really like the drama of the portrait.

Leave them alone. They are stunning just the way they are.

I like both of the pics. The 2nd one has special shading. Such a beautiful lady.

You have great photos of your beautiful grand daughter. I think the exposure is fine. The only thing I would do is to decrease the reflection on her shoulder (first photo)
