Great DOF, nice facial expressions. Maybe just warm them up a bit; the skin tones seem cold.

These are cute! :)

If you'd like CC...

They're all underexposed and the white balance is off - there's WAY too much blue in all of them.

thanks for the compliments everyone.

jen... i can agree that warming them up wouldn't hurt, but underexposed? looking at three different monitors and don't see that.

These are cute! :)

They are a tad underexposed on my calibrated monitor as well. #3 is my favourite as well as BW conversion.
I too am enjoying that camera lens combo.

While I don't think the underexposure is too critical, I do think #2 and #3 are a bit too cool. I think #1 is just great! That big, wide-eyed look of wonder!

They are cute.... there is something about the light being uneven.. I'd try to take a reflector and bounce some extra light back into the scene...

Cute anyway though... I think you can bump the exposures/curves/levels and do well with it.

Here's a quick example... something wonky with the color cast though... a lot of magenta undertones... if you shoot RAW it's an easy fix, but color correction.. is not something I am good at.

Anyway, here's a quick edit.. maybe too bright?? Hope you don't mind. :) LOVE this shot!! :)
