good use of suble colors, interesting cropping , odd but I like it. and it is beautifully lit.

Great color but just too soft at the eyes. there are distracting white lines in the hair, from either oversharpening or raterization from the reduction. The expression and pose are good, and the colors are great, but not as strong technically

Im trying to comment more on the middle of the pack shots, so ....
I like the way you framed the hands and face, the colors look great and the blue in the blanket set off those baby blues very nicely.
On the down side, the blanket is too busy and bright to let the eye focus on the child, and the on camera flash creates too even a light and that hard inverted V of shadow, distracting from the lovely lines which the hands and arms make.
Nice but ...6

good use of a narrow palate of colors, but whatever is going on over the fence is distracting fron the guys. given the attitued on display i don't know if you could have gotten them to sit down , but this would have worked better if all that was behind them was a fence.

very nicely framed, with good DOF. the expression is great but the framing gives it the space it needs to really work.

well composed and interesting lighting, but more contrast , and darker darks would make it richer.

very strong image, deftly handled lighting, and the focus is right where you want it.

great use of a wide lens here! makes her pop off the screen. good colors and saturation levels. i wish the fence was a bit more out of the focal plane, but a very nice shot, brimming with personality

lol Im not sure which portrait I like better, the guys expression is great. A bit more room on the left side near the critters nose would help IMHO

I think this would work better if you had fewer backround textures, say iif you reduced it to the boy and the tree. As it is the eye is busy with all the things that are not your central subject to really see the young man.
