Yes indeed, the grain does work well in this shot, as does the black and white. Nice one!

The eyes are just beyond great here, so clear and sparkling and contemplative. I just love portraits of kids where you can see the gears moving, so deep in thought.

Oh my goodness, it looks like he's getting older right before our eyes! They have such a tendency to do that at this age, you know. Your children will undoubtedly remain forever photogenic.

I think that the chilly neon tones really work well with the cool attitude he's putting out there. I like the frame too; it completes the image nicely.

That lovely bokeh enhances the color of her eyes beautifully!

Really nice mood captured! I'd love to look into those eyes more though. By dodging in the highlights (of the eyes), and then perhaps burning back in some of the shadows, you will increase the emotive quality of the portrait a great deal. (I use a very low strength when dodging and burning on portraits - usually 1-3%.) I'll bet that this would also look great in black & white.

Very pretty pose, and the glint of silver in her earrings is a nice accent. I might try desaturating the yellows a bit, as the cast around the outer contours of her face is noticeable. I'm glad that she likes it! It's a very flattering portrait.

So, you're 29, with FIVE young kids and you still manage to get your shots in before everyone else and look like you've just returned from the beauty parlor! Bottle it up and I'll buy a few cases! ;)

Great crop and perspective on this one, Neil. I like the hint of color left in the picture.
