Taken about an hour after my sons came home from Supercuts. I put them in front of the wall and used my gary fong Lightsphere on the flash. Did a bit of work in PS--Gaussian Blur on the background, spot healing on a few pimples, levels, USM, and a run through Neat Image. Enjoy!

I'm not sure I care for the one boy's chin being buried in his brothers head. I think having him lean over the big brothers shoulder might be a better pose. The younger boy's right eye seems to pull inwards. If his eye seems to do this a lot, you may want to stand off to his right slighly so that his right eye will be more centered. My sister has an eye that does this and positioning is an easy fix in portraits.

Rather than having one boy directly above the other, I would have been more inclined to have the boy at the rear looking over the left or right shoulder of his brother leaning slightly forward to keep them on more of an even plane with his chin at ear level or thereabouts.

Two good looking boys!

Very cute. :) I like the way it's set up, and you've captured very natural expressions. The background for me detracts, because it just presents the entire composition as somewhat flat, although it could be argued that it makes the subjects pop well. Lighting is also just a tad flat for me, giving a "washed" appearance rather than the much sought-after "Rembrandt" lighting effect; if there were more highlight at left, and right were more in shadow, this may have helped.
