New to portrait pp - cc please

[Crtm]

Hi I posted these photographs in the "Portrait and People" forum but I think I should have posted here, so sorry if I have doubled up. :bonk:

I usually take landscapes and pp them but I never do portraits, the following are of my daughter while I was out taking photographs of a Lily Loch not far from us. They are not posed and were caught ad-hock, hence why the lighting is not great and the lily covers her smile but I still like them.

After a few you-tube tutorials on LR4 I came up with the following edits. I would like to know if I have managed to make the most of them considering I am a first timer at pp a portrait.....the skin and all the rest is/was very daunting!!!

Also what improvements I could make please.

Look forward to your replies and any cc.

Carol
