photoshoot at the park - critques welcome

My friend asked me if I could take some pics of her and her son sincer her husband is horrible at taking them. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but it was harder than I ever thought it would be. Her boy has so much energy and didn't sit still for a minute... he also was extremely camera shy.

In anycase, here are a few of the pics. C&C very appreciated. Composition? Lighting? Exposure? PP? Antyhing really. I think my other friend is going to ask me as well, and I really take what I learn here and apply it, so any C&C will definitely not be wasted.

I know the sky is a bit blown out on them, but I tried to using a filter and I couldn't get the exposure right. ho hum.

fill flash could be helpful in some of the shots, the 3rd on is my favorite

absolutely adorable, good job!

Some good shots, good poses/expressions on them. They could generally use a bit of fill flash, not much, just some.

As to the active child - ain't it fun. I've threatened to buy a video camera for some of the portrait shoots we've done. Duct tape works.
