Quite good. I'm partial to red headed girls. Dirty ol' man.

I find the fuzziness in the first 4-5 and the colored shirt on the cowboy distracting. You want people to look at the kids first and then maybe notice their surroundings. Just my 2 cents.

It would be easier to offer C&C if you only posted 1-3 images. Anything more get's a little overwhelming.
Just a couple of quick points (take what you will from them)
* Selective colouring never works IMHO.
* Bluring your background in post, is not good.
* Your PP is too strong, you need to pull back a lot on it. It's not helping the images at all.
* If the first thing you notice is the vinegrette, it's to strong (kind of goes with the PP statement above).
The kids are cute and your posing is good.

I think they are all great shots but I'd be curious to see what they looked like without the fuzziness and selective coloring. Just a personal preference, but I always like seeing crisp, clear, bright portraits. The 6th shot, of the boy with his arms on his knees, is my favorite. What a great portrait! And I think the editing effects work nicely with that one!

yes that shot of the boy is my favorite!
I actually like the first few better untouched than with the blur. Mind if I take a stab at editing one of them?

I like the way you are coordinating their clothes...I think I pretty much agree with everyone else about the blurry stuff going on. I like the boy on the steps...natural expressive,,, the dark ring going all around is a lot better then the blurriness. Oh yea when I look back I can see it is much better in its original form.

I didn't want to edit without asking first!
I really like this shot of this little girl, here is my edit, and the before and after side by side to see the difference. I always like to edit clean, clear, and crisp!
