Your long shot is a wide shot. It should only go from head to toe. The second OS shot has better composition but could use more head room. Your balance and off-balance shots would be stronger if they were closer. Good lookspace. The eyeline between Scott and Amy are not a perfect match though - angles matter. The angle shots are called high, eye-level and low. I like the dutch angle on the low angle. Nice frame in a frame. All the shots are a good example of what happens with a camera in auto exposure (auto-iris). In the wide shots where more black fills the frame, the camera is exposing for the dark areas so Amy in her white coat are overexposed. When the shots are closer and the background is lighter there is better exposure because all the elements are closer to neutral.
