Love the colors in the 2nd one.
haha..Her expression in the center one is too mischievous.
Mind sharing how you got the colors to pop?

The focusing on the first one seems to be near his mouth, so the blurry hair (which covers so much of the shot) is distracting. I'm not a fan of rectangular framing, a square one would be great here.

The processing on the b/w is also too flat imo.
If you can get it to pop like your color one... :):

I don't remember exactly about the color pop, I usually nudge the Levels in photoshop if I have too and if it needs more umph I'll up the saturation ever so slightly.

thanks for the cc =]

The collage is interesting but I think there are multiple series of pics in it. I keep looking for theone with the dandelion seeds flying every which way. I think one continous series of frames would work better. Great shots though.
