#1 Perfect

#2 a tad on the bright side, just a tad

#3 Perfect

#4 Perfect

#5 a tad flat, maybe bump up the contrast a touch and you'll be set!

Wonderful job on these! i can see why the family liked them!

Thank you for the feedback. It helps to hear what other people see in your pictures - like a proof reader

Wonderful portraits, I love the setting very much! I agree #5 is a tad flat but an easy fix, #3 is my favorite. ~Linda

The white seems a bit too bright in the second one, but maybe its just me. The ones with the kids on their own are very nice.

Kit Lens used?

[scobols]

Yes, the kit lens for all but #5. That was the Tamron 70-300.

Great job on these, I'd imagine the family is happy with them.

I think those are all beautiful although i do agree that the last is a tad flat. great photos!

I adjusted the levels, is this better?

[Broncosaurus]

Very nice series. If I could change anything it would be the fall colors. Much of the foliage matches their skin tones, causing them to blend in too nicely. I'd either reduce the DOF, or underexpose the scene and use a filler flash to help distinguish your subjects from your background.

I tend to love warm images so these are all really good to me. The only one I find distracting is the little boy and his being a tad on the red/magenta hue. I did like the last one with the levels adjusted.
