I think I would have worked with the depth of field on this- both for me are too busy, the leaves on the ground and the background confuse the picture. The second photo is the better of the two but as stated above the light is very distracting. The first is not aloof enough for me- it looks more like she looked away when you took the photo than a deliberate pose.
They are well developed and I do like the composition with regards the positioning of the subject to the left.
