critique pls

[pascalewowak]

I posted an image a few weeks ago and got some great feedback. I just joined this forum last month and am trying to squeeze in time to participate whenever I can, as we know this is a crazy time of the year for photographers... but here's two shots from a series I did with my daughter and was wondering if either would work for print competition? I'm still trying to get a good feel as to what will do well in these types of competitions so bear with me if I'm totally off my rocker for even asking about these. :) They were both captured using natural window light only.
Thanks in advance for the constructive criticism.

p.s. I have no idea how to post these as large sized attachments so if someone wants to also give me some guidance on how to do that instead of these small sized attachments, that would be great, thanks.

Hi
I would suggest that you try posting the images larger so we can see them better. Try this.
