In the first picture, I liked how the shadows and the background were slightly dark and yet the ground and her dress are very light. I played around with the brightness and contrast tool to darken the shadows even more. I didn't know that her shadow would be so small it's interesting how that turned out. I do like the vertical shapes in the first picture. The way Aaysia was standing and how there was a pole by her left that was also omitting a shadow.
In the second picture, I wanted to get her stop action. I would have wanted to see her whole face but I liked how her body was sharp whilst her feet were blurred out in a way that her feet looks like ballet shoes in a way. I am satisfied by how high she has leapt, but I would have liked it better if the background was darker. In both pictures Aaysia was in the center, so next time I'm going to play around with the person being in all other areas other than the center. I decided to take both pictures indoors as it seemed easier adjusting the light because you already have natural light to surround you. Overall I'm satisfied with my picture being the first one I ever took, but I would have wanted them to turn out better. I would play around with the focus next time and different angles
