Some nice composition there, but that lens isn't sharp enough wide open.

 

The lens is sharp enough, it's just that the shutter is way too slow in
some photos, and I've yet to come to terms in the right balance of
ISO/Shutter.

Plus, as for the first image, it was the best I could capture of the little
guy, and I really wanted him in the set for the benefit of his mother

 

These are family shots, and - presumably - shots of family members who
have been photographed many times. The intent doesn't seem to be to
capture what (name) looked like on December x, 2013. They present a
different view than what is normally captured in family photos, and
the result is quite acceptable in my view. The subjects probably
liked the shots very much because they're a bit different from the
normal family snapshot.

#1 is a bit soft, but has appeal for being that way. #2, #3, and #5
have some distracting white areas that I might have applied the Burn
tool to, but they still work.

The only one in the set where I feel Jonas erred is #3 where the lower
face is very soft and the forehead is too sharp. The subject of that
one will be thinking of getting Botox shots after seeing that.

All-in-all, a good set of photos that look completely unposed and
natural.

 

It's not so much that it's soft as that the point of focus is a bit far
back. The eyes are soft but the outline of the face and ear and the
fabric on the shoulder are sharp.

Also one eye is sharper than the other--focus just a little deeper would
have balanced the eye sharpness and might have softened the forehead a
little.

Yep.

 

Agree.

However, the highlights on the first three photos draw to much
attention—at least, they were distracting to me.
