I agree with Karen's crop advice.
As presented, these are powerful and disturbing images, intensified by the high contrast and black pupils. I think death.
In offering processing alternatives, the question is what effect are you striving for?
Here is your last image processed two ways, color and a faintly toned monotone. In both I decided to play with square crops in part because I find them fascinating, in part because you have chosen that earlier. Not sure about where the boy's chest is cut off and whether the crops are ideal. I am curious what you and others think.
In both I did a fair amount of work to bring up the eyes and shadows overall. I still think the expressions are powerful but not sure what you want/think.
BTW, the processing of the small jpegs led to some artifacts around the heads that I didn't bother to clean up. Not likely to be an issue with the full size files.
