Playing Around - C&C

[JPIX]

Did some really quick shots of my boys last night and then some editing in PS Elements 8.

I needed to get some shots for a presentation on Thurs evening and didn't have much more time to get this done.

They're not perfect but I like them & I'm open to C&C.

#1 I think the crop is too narrow. Perhaps a regular crop, but closer?
#2 same as above
#3 I don't care for the desaturated vignette, and that you can't see the toes on the other kid's foot.
#4 I like a lot, but the highlights are blown out.
#5 I don't like the vignette here at all. Its distracting, rather than adding, to your photo and your subject. I think this would be cuter if both of your boys each had a puppy, and were sitting back to back, or a shot of them playing together.

Hope this helps. Ciao~

Thanks for the feedback - I agree on the vignette for #5. It didn't seem that bad last night when I put it together, but that was around 11pm so I'm not sure I was fully aware.

Lots of views not so many comments?

No feedback at all? You won't hurt my feelings, trust me (as long as it is constructive)

yeah i know it can be pretty frustrating, few reasons could be that , sometimes people cannot find any comment on some photos, or otherwise their opinions had already been stated or sheer laziness.
now, comments:
most of my opinions have already been stated ...but i'll try some more
#2 i don't think noise in this photo works ....
#3 the vignetting is really distracting...i keep concentrating on it's shape
#4 my fav...nice background
#5 cute kid
