They're all very nice pictures.
Just a few comments of no great consequence -
In #1, the colors are so earthy that the picture has nothing to get your attention. Also, a little overexposed for the main subjects.
#2 is beautiful. I like the composition and the lovely colors.
#3 is very interesting and both #2 and #3 have a well controlled, out of focus background.
#4 is overexposed, and I could not bring back the lost detail in the highlights. However, I was able to darken the mid to lighter tones using PSCS Levels with this result, which I think gives a better separation of the child from the background.

Thanks for the comments Bob, the last pic was processed bably which is why it was over exposed, I attached a resize of the raw file with no pp. I dont think it was a particularly good photo, I just like his expression and how wild his hair was after taking his hat off. thanks for the time on the edit to point it out.

Thanks again
Carl
