Post processing included a shadow/highlight layer, levels, removing a ghastly picture of a skeleton from the blue shirt, and using a gradient hue/sat layer to make the sky stand out a bit more and a soft light layer to bring out the boys.

Either your kids are tan, or your Hue/Sat was tweaked a little too much. I am supposing these are your boys, and they are adorable. I like the expressions and background. Very natural looking.
Im not good at being mean, so i cant.

Cute kids! I agree with what has been said. Their skin looks like it has a little bit of an orange tint to it, and I'm not completely fond of the way their hands are posed. It looks unnatural. Good background and colors though.

Very cute boys! I agree with Lonz that there is something a little off about their skin color, especially the little boy in the orange shirt. Also, the sky looks kind of funny in upper part of the screen, to the left a little, almost like it was processed a litte too much & doesn't look completely natural. Overall I really like the expressions you captured & you choode a great background!

really the first thing i see is the brightly colored shirts(they seem to work here especially since you took the kool skull out)nex thing i see is the look of unconfort on the blue-boys hands,the point where the boys hands converge on the stump seems funny,dont dare tell the boy, but seems like a feminine type of pose to me (hand on hip,hand laid out across body),the boy on right- i like his pose,as far as skin color Lonz mabe right,mabe a tad light in the rightside (is that a reflector doing that?)not sure i like the sky being so prominant either,mabe a tighter crop would do it...well there you go! ill still respect me in the morning...LOL EDITED TO ADD i think the light may be bouncing off the orange shirt onto their skin (that which Lonz may have been seeing as well)

the color of the shirts pop, but they're skin doesnt look right... maybe a bit too orangy... try doing a layer blend mode of soft light at a higher opacity and mask the boys to make the sky a little better.

Its aparent that the light is overcast sun on the upper right side. I would have liked more depth to their faces. If this was a portrait challenge I would have voted 5 if I was in a good mood.
