If you are shooting film and the negatives will be printed by a "good" lab, set your meter so it will overexpose the film by 2/3rds of a stop, then meter the shadows and shoot at the suggested exposure. If shooting digital, expose for the highlights.
You really needed some flash to eliminate the 'raccoon eyes' in the first two images you posted. Tally Ho, Da Ho, Don Ho, Heidi Ho, Heave Ho, Gung Ho, Cheng Ho. |

It's probably shooting into the light that's caused the problem. You need to boost the saturation in an image editing package to increase the colours, but I think you might need to adjust the contrast really.
Someone may well sort them for you, some on here are brilliant with the digital tweeks - I just tend to take the picture again if it doesn't work out quite right and try to learn from it... (I was posting at the same time as Tally Ho and interpreted the question totally differently! Sorry if I'm way off base.) |

The last one looks great to me, good exposure and nice vibrant colors. In the first tow, you're shooting against a very bright sky and it looks like that's what your camera is metering off of. I agreey with Tally that fill flash would help, and if you use photoshop you can lighten up their faces a bit as well. I think you've got the right idea, and use that last one as a guide, watch for places where there isn't direct sun, shaded by trees is always a good bed and bring a flash to fill in for shadows

This is my edit on the first one. I tweaked Curves a little bit, upped the saturation, and added a little contrast.
