Hi Jan,
Glad to see you are busy person. It's helpful if one knows what the pictures is for. Is it just fun, improving a portfolio or some new idea or theme you are working on? Also it's great to have only like images together so one can react to them as a group with common features. So I'm going to tread carefully, since I do not know your purpose. I'll just react as if I saw them on your computer. If I saw them in a gallery, then I'd no you were serious about artifacts I might see and so it would be different.

This is a delightful picture of a child. The smudges on the lower face or that of a real kid who might have scoffed some food or messed with some colored paints. The hair, however, stops suddenly. Is this because the b.g. was cut out?

The second image shows a delightful woman wrapped in a colored scarf as a kind of mask. With the subject of women's head covers being current, this could add a question about fashion and or social commentary. However, like Madonna's songs with pretty verses from holy Hindu scriptures, I'm not sure whether here the scarf is more than decoration and a tease.

This last picture is stark and complex to view and understand. The lighting tends to blosw out light surfaces. The model with rings, is moreof a character, and I'd like to see more of her and some ideas what she's about.
Keep at it, but lets keep subjects close so we can comment better.
Thanks for sharing,
Asher
