Great portrait. Composition is well done, lighting is nice. I happen to like the way you've framed his face. I think the highlights on right side of his face (his left) are a little blown, so exposure may not be perfect (ISO is pretty high for example). Sharpness could be improved, though it could be argued that some softness is called for in this style of portrait. I don't notice any post work, which is usually good, but on the other hand, the image may have been improved with some adjustments to curves, colour and the like. Overall a well done portrait, congratulations.

The position in this shot is really cool, it lets it stand out from the rest because it is so different, good job going outside the box it get this one. The colors are very nice and vibrant which I always love on children's portraits. I think based on the position and the coloring his eyes grabbed me the most. Great work!

I think the colors you choose for her are perfect. The colors really allow the viewer to have a sense of the child like quality. Even if she doesn't like to look at the camera, you still have captured an essence. The expression is one I have seen a million times from my daughter when I try to get her to look at me but it works very well for this piece.

Nice use of what looks like natural light to capture Josh. I think it awesome you were able to get a nice shot a of 16 year old boy. I like the placement of the subject, I might suggest leaving a little more on his head in even if it added a little more to his shirt as well.
