The first one is a nice spontaneous portrait and shows some character.
I like the way you've matched the background colour with the hair on the 2nd.
In both, it would be good to get rid of the folds in the backdrop I
think. They're just a tad distracting.

Other than the fact that it is a default orientation, I see no reason to
