Family pics for c&c

I took these for my cousin to use for her christmas cards. I thought they turned out ok. Is there anything that I can do to edit them better or are they ok?

The crop on the feet on the first and at the bottom of the last two is unfortunate and going to hurt in a frame, but the client won't notice that like another photog will. They are very nice!!!
Focus on the last one is not on his eyes, it's on his hands.

I personally wouldn't of cropped with the feet off but otherwise nice photos

Your compositions are weak.

Of the 3 photos #2 isn't to bad, but #1 and #3 are.

Rule of thirds;

I agree on the crop!

Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon that cropped limbs etc I thought I would point out that using this picture for a Christmas Card doesn't have to cause a fuss. For example with a card like this you don't even notice. Yes if you were going to use the entire image it very well could hurt it. It isn't a total loss though. Each image is divided into a section like KmH posted and each of those intersecting points in the middle are called powerpoints. At least thats what I was taught. Try to keep your subject within one of the points helps your composition.
