#2

Actually I think the way you have it in #1 is fine the way it is.

You can brighten up the background in the first picture with Photoshop. Just get the pen tool, select around the kid, convert it to a selection with some feathering and then invert the selection so it selects the background, not the actual kid. And then just add some brightness & contrast to the selection.

For the second one, make a new layer and change it's mode to Overlay. Just get a brush and select your desired color and color the eyes with it. Make sure the brush is soft and if the color is too strong just lower the opacity of the layer.

The third picture doesn't look too bright to me, but I'm not a professional so you may need to wait for someone else to reply. But if you want to darken it, just use the same technique as I explained for the first picture.

Hope it helps.
