#1 - I like this shot for the look on your sons face. It’s not often that you can get a pensive shot from a kid. The only thing I would do is crop down from the top to remove some dead space.

#2 - The DOF is too shallow and focus should be on the eyes. But, another lovely pose.

Andrew, I love 1 and agree with Chris (but wouldn't have noticed if Chris keen eye hadn't pointed it out). 2 is also appealling

Andrew - I too agree with Chris, the first image with a crop will be fantastic.

I like #2 as well, and again Chris is spot on! Out of curiosity what aperture was this shot at?

Thanks everyone for the feedback.. It is greatly appreciated.

I took the original RAW shot, desaturated the image then played around with the levels.

The aperture for the shot was f2.8

Both beautiful shots :) #1 is my pick of the litter though.

1st shot is really impressive, if you crop off the space on top of his head.
2nd shot captures the moment really well. A bit too shallow DOF. Am I repeating whatever sirhc55 said?
:D Really nice B/W process though!
