Thanks for your comments, yes it was fun shoot. Both kids looked pretty awesome. Girl was much more natural in terms of posing. I loved the chemistry between two.

Nice series. Expressions and exposures are very nice.

The biggest "complaint" I would have overall is that many of the images I would have truly loved were ruined by the background.

Number one for example. A great image that is lessened by the speed limit sign and mailbox.

Thanks for your comment and complaint, This all were PP in LR4 + roundtrip to CS5 for applying USM. I think I need to get more serious with learning on CS5 to remove background objects. I'll try it and repost soon. Once again thanks for your feedback.

Or....

Get more serious with paying attention to the background prior to taking the image.

hi nice series and i am sure they will like them. I must add my little bit and we have all had to learn it just look at the shot and all it may take is you moving a couple of feet and you will have less to clean up in pp. again nicely done

Thanks lesson learnt and will be more aware of background while shooting.

Shooting in a home is sure to give you a cluttered background in most cases. But. It does add a sense of place. For memory keeping that is perfect.

Overall I think you did a nice job and I like the processing. Minimizing background distractions is a good practice, but for what these are...I really think they look great!

Youve taken snapshots to a much higher level.
