Not sure if you intended it this way, but these all feel overexposed. Most of the white signs are blow. Is there anyway for you to pull down the highlights? Otherwise, I'm liking #4. Such a genuine sentiment and I'm sure a fantastic memory for the child once grown up.

Ouch I see what you mean, I did the initial curves for these images on a monitor which I guess was way off, luckily I stopped at 9 and didn't do all of them on that screen

Learn to correct "by the numbers" so you don't rely on monitor correction too much. It's pretty easy. If you are using a PS curve, hold down the alt (apple) key while you are in the curves window (non-layered) or click the top button on the right (curves layer in CS4). As you mouse over the image, it will show you where the point is on the curve. Then you can set dark and light points and make sure the curve is steepest where you want it.

Oh, and I like these. We have a bad habit in common. Aim lower to get more of the person and less of the sky.
