Very interesting treatment. The one thing I might mention is that they look a little too 'perfect.' There is nothing to break up huge regions of a single color. When I remember pop art I think of the little bits of noise and something like a 'old film' overlaying the perfect colors.
Either way, they look great - a memorable way to look at family.

I agree, especially on the back and shoulder of the guy. You might try simulating half-tone dots, or if you're really daring, go for a Roy Lichtenstein look. The child looks great to me, so I think it's worth a little more effort.

Pow! Bam! Very nice.
Thanks for the comment. The thing is I don't know how to similate half-tone dots. Gotta research how to do that.

If you are using Photoshop, look at Filter-> Pixelate->Color Half-tone. Also Filter->Sketch->Half-tone Pattern. Another possibility is to just blend in some texture or noise. Lots of possibilites.

{edit: Here's an example from Andy Warhol - notice how the hair and surrounding isn't a solid color, it has lots of variation and tonal changes (easy in paint, not in photoshop...) http://www.poster.net/warhol-andy/warhol-andy-shot-orange-marilyn-2107129.jpg}
