Here are two SOOTC shots of my son. Since as of yet I'm stuck with just a G6 (slow-ass write speed), I shoot JPEG. My own efforts at postprocessing have been disappointing so I'd love some input.

I'm on my phone right now but I'll give them a play tomorrow. What are wanting done? Anything specific?

Thanks! I'm interested in whatever enhances the appearance, perhaps proper application of noise reduction and whatever adjustments can make them look better. I fed them to Noise Ninja but my efforts resulted in a plasticy doll-like look. Some black-point adjustment in iPhoto also seemed to improve the overall look.
