Very good. Did you use a diffusor on the flash?
I think the focal length is pretty good for the last (double) portrait, for the single portraits I think I would have ules a slightly longer lens (70-80 mm).

The on-camera flash is giving you a pretty flat look, and also causing slightly blown highlights (cheekbones, eyebrows).
As Terry says, you would get better results in most cases with a longer lens. The earlier pictures are slightly distorted.
A weak flash on the camera (maybe even the RTF) could be used to trigger a separate and more powerful diffused flash off-camera. Pentax refer to this as "Contrast Control". The results would look much better. You could also point the flash at a reflector.
To be brutally frank, what you have here are attractive subjects, rather than good pictures. But getting an attractive subject is a good start, and they look relaxed and natural, which is also important.

Oddly, I cannot see any pics here either Andrew, so we seem to have a mix of some who can, and the rest. : "Moved or deleted"?

I saw them first time round
Could it be that they [ Photobucket ] thought that they were too young for public display ?
They were cracking shots too

A note to Photobucket seems to be in order, me thinks.
