I like all those photos, althought the first is my absolute favorite photo of any child that I've ever seen. That's probably just me, though, because I'm not much of a photographer. Anyway, I really love these photos.

Well, you already know my opinion, but if I could add something, it would be that the light on the first one is a bit boring. If you wanna shoot that boy again (not litteraly), bring him into a room with only one window or that has windows that can be covered. With all the lights in the room off and light from only one window, you get a really nice portrait lighting. It's called natural lighting since it's.. natural. :P It's almost the best lighting there is for portraits IMO.

Fönstrena i mitt rum är jävligt bra för det, om du kommer ihåg hur de ser ut. :P

No, seriously, thanks for the advise! I will try it. Ja jag kommer typ ihåg..

Thanks for the comments

Well rabie, there's not always time to take people or things to a studio, the best shots in life are those captured at the right time, not in the right place

And the best photographs also look the best. If we talk composition and lighting, then that's not the best photo he will ever take. If we talk "look kids at my cousin when he was a child", then it's a good photo. But with technical perfection and a family kind of photo combined, then it will be so much better. Trust me, I know these stuff. My dad has been taking vacation photos for like 20 years now, and he's not a bad photographer.

David: In fact, you can add a really nice shadow in Photoshop, which will improve the lighting. I'll give you a little quick guide:

1. Desature the picture (not really nessecary, but the end result will look better)
2. New layer. Take the gradient tool, with black to transparent, and make a gradient from the right side to the end of his nose, or a little further.
3. Set the layer to Soft light. Duplicate the layer.

I don't know if you think it's right to edit the photo, but since you already have done the tones and stuff.. :P Just a little tip if you want to improve the picture a little!
