I think the first is my favorite...she looks so happy to be in that wagon and it's a very nice composition! My only CC is that some seem to be soft or out of focus. #1 I don't mind that the boy is out OOF, that was probably done intentionally, but #2, 5 and 6 look soft, maybe it's just me... #6 it looks like focus landed on the flowers and his face is slightly OOF. Same with #5, I love the comp and color but it looks soft...

Thanks for the advice! How can I make it not look so soft. I was using my 50mm 1.8, and i used a large aperture on all of these, probably 1.8. Would using a smaller aperture help with the softness issues?

Ambra When chasing little ones around, I try and keep the ap around 4.0- you'll still get a nice depth of field, but you'll find that it will be easier to get a sharp photo.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. The shutter speeds on these were pretty fast around 1/5000 - 1/6500 except for #2 was 1/100 (it was shot indoors).
