Hi Chuck,
I have not read the other comments, yet, as I want to write none influenced and fresh from my heard.
The first shot is nice, but to me not that interesting. She has a cute look, but I wonder what is she looking at? I miss context, I miss a story here. If one would be mean, he could say, a pretty face, and else?
The second shot. Not easy... I start with what I don´t like that much: the background of course, takes a lot of attention, and her eyes, looks like a half blinker, a split of a second the wrong moment, maybe. BUT, this image has soul, it touches me. The technical imperfections make it work, I guess. It is a glimpse in time, and, it is a bit abstract and that is something I like a lot in images. If it were my image I would burn down the other people and the back half of her to give it more punch, but you are not me. This image is artistic and I love it.
Consistency... ? I also always thought you need to be consistent, but really? The portfolio of Parker J Pfister comes to mind, he is not consistent as a fact (and I adore his work). I feel you cannot be all over the place in one set, but I guess you can have it covered solidly and then have some real artistic shots in between, where it is clear, this is something different.
The problem is when you do so, the other shots take away from the artisticy, so maybe more like this:
Why not have a set, as a set, and a separate folder like selections where you show a few images from the event/wedding where you only show images that are different, emotional and artistic...
Just some random thoughts...

Heiko my friend, you're like a catalyst perpetually in search of other catalysts. I love that about you.
Thanks so much for taking the time. I always enjoy your point of view.
Chuck
