    I like these types of shots AT!
    Shot 1 is quite strong for me with its simple but effective composition, just wish there was a hint more light on the face overall, and the eyes could be sharper here.
    Eyes are sharper in shot 2 and it has a better tonal range overall, but you have various bright spots competing for attention - I might tone those down a bit more (by slightly vignetting the image's perimeter and burning in the white t-shirt) and to my eye it would sing much louder. Hope that may help.

    Thanks Marko!

    Here are the originals. The reason I went with BW is because of this first one. Pink pillow, pink PJ's, and a face lit by a lamp with a pink shade made the shot PINK. The only thing I've done to this shot is turn the saturation down some.




    This shot is untouched. I went BW with this one because I went BW with the other one

    Mate ... strengthen those levels up on the BW's ... darker darks and lighter lights ... maybe sharpen some more ... and you've got yourself some beauts there.

    I always find however horrible the kids have been in the day, when they are asleep they are adorable. I quite like the second shot in colour, but like MA says play with the levels and you've got yourself a great image.

    The color shots tell a lot about the girls. The pink is Miss Priss, plays with baby dolls, tea parties, etc. The green and purple is my brainiac tomboy, who would rather play in the woods, likes garage selling with me, likes art, and has nothing to do with dolls, etc.

    I reworked the BW's

    This one, I sharpened the eyes mouth, and nose, and lightened her face (it came out a little grainy)



    This one I basically darkened the light spots from the first one, t-shirt, bottom right corner
