Critique Me?

These are two of my favorite shots from the latest shoot I did. I'm still only one or two months new to editing and few months new to shooting with a proper camera.

So any advice or tips or input would very much help as I'd like to know how I can improve myself

In the first image the hard lighting is interesting and the background has promise. But I find myself distracted immediately by her inexplicably gray nose, too-lightened eyes, the branch to the left of her head, and the corner of her hand peeking up from bottom left. I think this could be a better photo with eye contact, a slight shift (on her part) to the left / camera right to get rid of the branch, putting her hand down, and more practice on post processing. I think I can almost get an idea of what the makeup artist was going for, but unfortunately, it wasn't achieved - her face just kind of looks like a random mess of paint but not in a good way.

The second image is nice but the composition kills it for me. My eye goes straight to whatever is in her lap and you have a diagonal line of something bright in the background going through her head. Hope this helps.

Hi there Iman. I would like to see your images without a forestry background. They are a distraction. I live in Ipoh, you can message me any time. Enjoy your photography.
