hi, all.  okay, i'm new at this, and i kinda wanted to get into it, so please be gentle.  many thanks to happyme  for patiently working me through all this slowly.  i'm jen, and i'm a sophomore.  i'd appreciate feedback in a positive way, since i've been getting a lot of negative feedback recently, and i did give this week's challenge a try.  i like number one slightly more than number two, but here goes.

i hope one of these days, i'll be able to be as good as you people :-)

[edit:]

whitestar made some helpful comments on fixing picture number two, so the fixed version is below.  i hope it helped.
