they are great how do you do the background.

not keen on 6 he looks a bit glum

love 7

number1 is bit messy little boy with the power ranger not playing today ha ha
 
Lighting is very harsh in several of them, your focus is out on a few and the expressions on some of the faces leaves some room for manouver, but that said they could be a lot worse
 
Focus on number 2 isn't on the child face.
White Balance on 3 is not correct.

Generally the contrast and exposure has been pushed too far (IMO).

I think this is a function of being resized (quickly) using Microsoft Office Picture Manager the full size images look a lot better, but as they are 2903*4254 pixels I could not upload them.

Gotta agree with the other 2. You've gone for a high key look but at the expense of detail in the images. A lot are blown out, over-exposed. The contrast on 5 is very harsh. No.4 makes them look like a scary couple that I wouldn't let near kids. They're also quite soft.

Ew god don't use that. What did you use to edit the photos? Get Photoshop or at least Paint Shop Pro and use that.
 
Right I have resized three of them in CS3

Hopefully there will be a big difference.

The first 2 are sharper but the 3rd is still quite soft. What lens did you use?
