which of these do you prefer, why?
I like them all, to some degree, specifically:

The skin tones are very dark for my taste, although the folks may
indeed be that dark skinned. A bit of "fill light" a la Lightroom
would help, IMHO. I wish it had a mildly blurred background as
Kimberly has and not the all but washed out one.
It is tonally a reverse of the church & black sky, and lacks a
place for me to instantly look, to grab my eye; eventually I find
the boy's eyes but I have to work at it. Emotionally it is very
touching and I can almost feel the boy's chest under my hand, as I
have felt my own childrens' little chests many years ago.

Nicely composed and photographed but not my style of whimsy. Color
might change my mind.

My favorite because it is a nicely exposed friendly face, always a
winner IMHO; the flat light, the smile and hair highlight catch my
eye against a softly blurred background It could be cropped much
harder and a little bit of fill light on the eyes would help.

A beautiful "art photo." Not for the AP or the Daily Blat. Reminds
me of something Georgia O;Keefe might have done. it too could be
cropped much harder before entering it in a photography contest.

All the best,
