I could use some C&C
I have no idea what C&C is.
*everbody dance now*
There is no real focuspoint in the first one.
I would have gone for a different angle in the 2nd one, it looks very 2D.
The swans seem kinda overexposed. You should have used a smaller aperture.

^This suffers from a lack of a clear subject. Take time in the viewfinder to think of what you want the final image to look like. Your photos should say "Look at this!" instead of "What am I looking at??"
^ This is much better in term of subject separation from the background than the first. I would like to see more of the yellow flower. Make it fill the frame but still keep it off center like you have here.
^ I'm real weak in portrait photography. I stick to inanimate objects as much as possible. Spend time going through the web links in the sigs of the folks who post good portrait work in POTD. Try to see what they see. A good face shot always amazes me. My comments on this would be to have the subject look active and interesting. Eyes to the lens and mouth closed with a bit of a smile unless you're going for the serious thing. She looks spaced to me. It's OK to clip off a bit of the top of the head, but try to keep all of the face in the frame.
^ Exposure issues set aside, try to keep you subject out of the center of the frame. Centering tends to freeze the image and it has no feeling of movement. A shot like this that is cropped off on my right points the swans towards the center of the frame and then it seems to move.
^^ If that's a whisky, I could use some too...I could use some C&C
