sweet boys

So I want to hear feedback on composition and editing. I think I have finally found my editing style. And I need to know if its appealing to you as much as it is to me!

Hi Sarah,

Both of the boys are quite sweet looking and you've captured them well, though the boy on the left looks a little awkward. His arms and hands seem a bit stiff, unlike his friend who seems quite relaxed in his pose. For me the distraction in the image is the color of the background light. It seems to compete for attention rather than enhancing the subjects. I'd love to see a version with a more natural light so that the boys are the stars!

I'm not sure why but this looks like a composite to me, like they were cut and pasted on that background...maybe because the boys have lower contrast than the background?

The purple light part distracts me and it might benefit from a shallower DOF so the boys stand out. Using the fence was a cute idea!

+1 on pasted on the background. specially the left one.. the lightning just doesn't fit the background.
