The third is a standout for me. I like the effects you have gone for here.

Beautiful portraits Heath.
The bokeh in the first one is delicious!

A wonderful series, 2 and 3 stand out to me, but they're all excellent and capture the joys of childhood beautifully to me.

these would look great as canvases - terrific shots, and great treatments as well - well done!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been playing with a few different techniques after seeing James trying some new ones out.

Geoff - the bokeh in number 1 appeals to me also - however it isn't (as you would know) the soft bokeh people are always after.

the last one is the best as you can see the faces and their emotions.
