They don't really do anything for me but they aren't bad. The lighting in 1 and 2 is nice, but the lack of emotion or interaction makes them a little dull. 3 is a cute snapshot, 4 almost looks soft in the eyes(?), and I wish I could see more of his face and that semi-sneer hes got going on. The crop is really close too, I'm not sure thats helping the image composition. But its better than the first two with a connection with viewer.
Just some thoughts

I love the first shot. I'm a sucker for capturing the 'sparkle' in the subject's eyes. Nice work.

The crappy part about working with kids is that you usually can't have them stand long enough to setup nice enough lighting that you could as can be seen in the last pic (unless you intentionally went for split lighting).
#1 and #2 i'd shoot vertically.
But exposure and color seem good.


Good Luck

4 kinda scares me...

#3, I love it. "Where's the starting gate?"
