Family of Four

I thought this photo shoot went pretty well. I like how the pictures turned out, which means I don't know where to improve. I'm not saying that I think these are incredible, I just need more eyes to see what I can't see. Let me know what you think. I always learn so much from feedback. Thanks in advance.

The only criticism I have is that perhaps the skin tone is a slight bit red in the first one. It *may* be the monitor I'm on at the moment, though.

these are great. #1 is my fav. I wish i could see the babies face in 2 and in 4 it might have been nicer to have the girl sitting on dad's lab... no biggie, just a thought.

overall, i think they are great. i'd love to see more in the series.

Hi 3of11...

Hmmm - well I don't know about the colours being rich (twocolor) they looked a bit flat to me..
I d/l #1 and the histogram is flat - lack of contrast - curves
I also thought they could be improved with some 'pop'... - L*a*b
I didn't d/l the others to check but they all look flat...

Jedo, thanks for your feedback, I appreciate the time you took in doing the edit and giving me your critique.

Other viewers, can I get some feedback on whether my edit looks better or Jedo's edit looks better? On my monitor Jedo's edit doesn't look very appealing, so I need to know if it is my monitor or just a different preference in editing.

Just to add - the edit I posted has an embedded profile, sRGB IEC61966-2.1
If you are viewing this pic on your web browser, then unless you have FF4 or Safari, no other browsers support ICC profiles, and you will just see web/windows colour which is quite lame.
Try copying it to PS - using the pic embedded profile.
