Photography; some advice needed

[Sock]

Ok, now that I have my baby (my camera) back, I'm looking at the last roll of film I did.

Now, I need some honest opinions. Which one of the following do you think is best? Why? And worst, why?

And 'they all suck' does not count. I know I need work. I just want to know what is best, what is worst.

One of the ones I like the most I can't put up because it's of a friend and she wouldn't appreciate having her picture up here

Please ignore the incorrect date in the corner.

Hmm...

Maybe you should try "removing the distractions" on some of them.

For example, on the hugging picture (ellenmom2), maybe zoom in a bit to remove the excess background. It's a balance issue kind of thing.

Another example would to take out the (backpack?) from the locker picture. Unless it has significance, in which don't.

(And see if you can get rid of that date...)

(Excellent pictures by the way.)

I like ellenmom2 the best actually. I mean theres a lot of background, but its a beautiful scenery and I dont feel at all like its the focus, my eyes are drawn directly to your mom and your sister. I think it infact makes it a better photograph, but what do I know, Im not a photographer.

Heh, yeah, I need to figure out how to remove the date. I'm getting a new camera which hopefully won't log it/attempt to log it relatively soon, though.

Thank you two :]
