First Day photos

I chose this one because the flower had a fully green background and you can see the bulbs of the flower clearly. I don't like how the petals of the flower are blurred/not as sharp. All portions of the flower are in the photo, no part cut by the border of the photo. If I did Rule of Thirds, maybe the photo would be better.

I chose this one because it had a good, simple background. I dislike the tree in the bottom-right corner because it removes the focus away. If I tried to tilt the camera to the right then that could get rid of the tree. I like how the subject's face is clear and visible, no dark shadows over their face.
