==================================================================================
Nathan, the first two are fine (although I could see less space on the
right of Viv, so she wasn't dead center),
but I have a problem with the others.  Both have the subject's profile
confused by the backgrounds.  I think the
camera should have been moved slightly in each case to give clear tones to
the edge of the face (attention to
micro-composition).
