C&C requested

Let me know what you think of my composition and pp style. Thanks

Overall I like them both. On the first my personal preference would be for stronger colors, if not everywhere perhaps in her eyes. Or even desaturate the background even more to bring the subject away from it.

I like the second a lot, I just can't help but wonder what the boy has in his hand though! It might have been interesting to include it in the shot, it's not a cropped limb, but whatever it was sure has both him and mom smiling and interested. Maybe this is the mystery that makes me like that picture? Who knows, well done!

He was holding the rope to a train shaped bell. This was taken at an old train station now museum. The rope is about 3 feet long so there really was no way of including the bell and keep the crop of the picture. Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them.

Makes sense, and perhaps it adds to the allure of the image, the great unknown at his finger tips Well done!

I think #1 is awesome. I love the weathered house you are shooting against and how the light is streaming through her hair. You even have a bit of catch light on her eye, which draws you in. The only thing that is a bit of a distraction is the verticle door trim on the side of her head.
