Which one is best?

1

First one. The second one is too bright on the skin.

Thanks !!! The second one was using the Lucas Arts filter so it typically will increase contrast a LOT !!

Both - I like the background of the second one and I like the kids in the first one.

I would go back and duplicate the layer and rerun lucasart and then then mask off the kids. Try the entire kids and try just their exposed skin areas.

but in both I dont like the vignette. I have nothing against them, but for instance look in the upper corner on the right, you can see clear defined trasnition in it. I think there should be more blur.

but I think the capture is awesome. I love the playfulness of it

I was thinking about that but decided against it. Based on your suggestion,I will give it a go. Thanks for taking time and commenting on my image
