Family Today... Need opinions.

I am sick. I am trying to get these done so she can get her Christmas cards out tomorrow.

Why not portrait for #2?
Do you like it ever so slighty off center?

 

[ababysean]

Yes, I am trying to leave room so she can crop it as she wants for her card.
I also have one portrait.
But I have a sinus/headache/blah eye pain, and I'm wondering if my colors are off?

I like the second one the best, but would like a tighter crop. I do understand your reason for leaving it as is. If it wasn't for a card, then a crop would make a world of difference. The first one, I'm not a fan of the blown out sky.

As for the skin tones, I think they look a little washed out in the second one. Mind you, I do have problems myself judging good skin tones, so I could be wrong. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

I think the skin tones are ok, for me it is the tonal rang of the figures blending into the tonal range of the background. Right now it is looking really flat. In this edit I lightened the tones on the guy, lightened the background and boosted saturation on the greens. The red against the green is popping a little nicer for me. I'm not sure about the guy's choice for blue in this pic, but you have to work with what you have.

ok I popped the background, and filled in some holes in the trees.
I feel even worse today so this is as good as it is going to get.

Awe look at the babies poor purple feet, haha can you soften that up a bit or get rid of the purple tone. I like this close up but the feet are bugging me. I know that babies look like that lol I have three but if you can fix it, i think would be better.

 

[ababysean]

I know The feet are bugging me too.
It was 69 yesterday so we went outdoors, she had tights on but they were way too big. Probably should have kept those on, or some shoes.
