Engaging portrait and scene and its good to learn a little about the person in the shot so thanks for writing some information about her. The colours are great in the shot, quite subdued but it suits it very well. I love the scene, with a busy beach behind, is it cropped? It would be good to pull back a little bit wider to see a little more of the setting, otherwise great portrait.
Wonderful colours in this photo, the pink dress works very well with the yellow/orange. The depth of field is great, giving a softer background to help the girl stand out more. I might be tempted to give a little more head room (more sky) and a bit less foreground to balance the shot otherwise its great.
Well done on creating such a strong portrait. Its a wonderful moment you've caught and I love the gaze of the boy looking away from camera. Good use of that 1.8 aperture giving pin sharp eyes and enough detail in the background to see the boys environment. The colours in the grade are great. Great shot.

Interesting shot that gives us an insight into this traditional village. The light is fantastic around the goats on the left of the shot. I'd be tempted to crop the left side slightly taking out the white sun spot and boys head bottom left. This would still give the orange glow over the goats and I think strengthen it. Great shot.
