Some family triptychs

I took some pictures of my brother's family a few months ago and organized several of them into triptychs. I was experimenting with some processing and was going for kind of an Americana look along with the more straightforward processing.

By the time we got everyone around and to the park the kids were growing rather grumpy and impatient so I tended to just snap when I could while they would let me, even though I may not have the perfect composition. I know I have a tendency to cut off limbs and hands because of this and need to pay more attention to that. These were all natural light - I didn't have any flashes with me.

C&C are welcome on photography and processing.

    Great outfits! I'm always really afraid of blown highlights but in these you made it work with an overall high-key look, well done. 4 is my favorite because it really tells a story.

    Excellent! You captured some great expressions and the feeling of a loving family. I'm also loving the b&w conversions. #1, 4, 5 & 6 are my favorites.

    The rightmost image in #5 and the leftmost in #7 (actual) are my faves.

    You got some really cute photos here, and I LOVE the color coordination!!! ... though the amount scares me (haha)

    There are only 2 shots that kind of bug me:
    - center 3: I don't think this is a flattering shot + his hat seems a bit to high up on his forehead ... I would have tossed that one ...
    - center 5: I actually think it's a really cute shot of the girl, but I don't like how the space was used. You cropped off parts of her head and have all that "negative" space on the bottom ... I would have zoomed in more (or just cropped tighter) so you see more of the face and your eyes are drawn more to her STUNNING eyes. What a cutie!

    All is one, beautiful set! ... and I totally admire your ... either .. ability to tell them what to wear ... or your ability to put them in such fun variation of clothes :D

    NICE STUFF!! Kudos for the hard work with all the little ones. I really like all the images, and the PP, except for the top row, I don't care for the PP as much in those three. And in row 2, image 1, the little guy's face being split down the middle bugs me, alot. Other than that it would be hard to pick just one favorite, love the close ups! The B&W work very well. They will love ALL of these!
