The first one looks a tad soft to me, but the colors are beautiful. Good framing.

The second one seems soft as well. The flowers on the right are a tad distracting. I see them first and then the little girl. I love the pose and the smile tho!!!!

The softness could be from my monitor at work tho.

The last one I love!!!! Although I would loosen the crop a bit on the top. The BW works for me on this one!!!! :judge: :judge: :judge:

Don't pi$$ me off, I am running out of room to store the bodies...

They all look sharp on my phone. My only complaint is the out of focus flowers in the foreground of the second picture. The first and third look awesome. Great job!

Fantastic effort for being new to photography - you've got a good eye and a lot of creativity. :judge:

A few small things I would try for these photos:
On #1, It doesn't look too soft to me. But I think the green is a bit oversaturated, which gives her blonde hair a funny tint. Tone down the saturation a little, or maybe just the greens.

On #2, if you want to use the out-of-focus flowers, you might try moving a little to the left to get the shot so they're not right in front of her. Use them to frame her on the right side. Then you wouldn't be obscuring her hands either :)

#3, as Dori mentioned I'd like to see just a little more space above her...maybe even below her as well.

All in all, very nice. Just a few tweaks/suggestions.
