Are the hands a distraction
I was visiting some old friends at the weekend so took my camera (duh). I don't do people shots normally so I decided to try something a little different for some of them.
Result is I have a couple of shots of their daughter that I'm really undecided about as each has her hand in frame. I'd appreciate your comments on whether they work or not. To see the large version of any image, click the image thumbnail below:   
TIA Peter

stubbsy - Emily adjusting her hair works very well but Emily 3 has a perspective problem so as is, I don’t think it works. Clone out her hand and crop to offset image and it will look great IMO.
Emily 2 is a very nice pic of the young lady but again the hand is all wrong IMO - just clone out the hand and I believe you will have a very nice pic Chris

I think the colour pics work quite well... a young lady with attitude... If that's the effect that the portraits were trying to convey, then if anything, the flower in the hair is a distraction... IMHO of course...
Cheers, John

As per your suggestion revisions of #2 & #3 below (must confess I'm still new at PS CS so the cloning may not be the best). Again thumbnails can be clicked for larger view   Peter

stubbsy - personally I like the reworked photos better and your PSCS is OK

Without the hands certainly improves the photos, but I think you've put to much of a green / yellow cast to 202b.jpg.
