Just to let you guys know, when I shoot I leave extra room for cropping prints. When the client sees these photos at their reveal, they will be cropped tighter, at least some of them.
I think these are pretty damned nice overall. Maybe a little loose on the crops on some but a really healthy group of kids, something that seems hard to find these days. I love the expression in #6 the best. It's really a wonderful expression on her face but might be better with some of the bottom cropped off. I also like that you treated each person as a separate individual and didn't just do the same thing for each one, y'know, phoning it in. You should be happy and so should they.
Agree with Peter. A very strong set with lots of variety.
I found the bright background of #1 and #8 a tad distracting.
My fav's are the action shots of #14 (jump on the track) & 16 (water splashing) and the football pushup, #11. Good composition in that one. But so many others are so strong!

Thank you! I do leave extra room for prints, the client sees them cropped tighter, at least some of them.

Thank you! I agree about the backgrounds. Sometimes it's because I don't have a lot of control on the time of the day and have to shoot earlier than I want.
