Both pictures are fantastic!!
The colors are great!! and the background very nice! She looks very happy so I think she represents very well the mood of the place...
I like them both as they are
Was it taken in a special event? Why is she dressing like that? I really love the clothing....
Great candid shots, I prefer the first
I took the liberty of editing your post to include the images

Nice shots! Love the colour, and the blurred background.
In the first pic, the woman has a very nice expression too - sorta cheeky... and in the 2nd one it really draws the attention to the flowers.
I agree with Shuttertalks comments. The only thing that I find to be an issue is the clipped wing. She'll never fly.

Thanks for the edit, a great help. These were taken at a local Renaissance Festival that lasts six weeks. Its a great time and LOTS of photo ops. Thanks for all the comments this is the second time I got to use the news lens (200 f2.8L) I love it!
