I think I'm pretty much stuck in terms of composition. I can't find any new and interesting way to shoot my kids. I'm also limited by my focus points, I try to have the focus point on their eyes because I usually shoot wide open. So most poses are the same.....
This is in camera crop, I think the only rule of third is that her eyes are on the top third of the photo. (Her skin color was kind of wonky so I made it B&W)
I cropped this in PSE, I think Mr S is in the intersection...
This is my copy of the little ballerina girl, it was shot as landscape and I cropped it portrait
In camera crop again, but I did crop a little bit more in PSE to move his eyes up more.
Shot in RAW and Manual at 4 pm, in the shade with the exception of the 1st one
(I found out there is a RAW converter in PICASA, albeit sucky but better than nothing)

These are wonderful images, Annie! I love the way that my eye knows exactly where to look in all of these. You did a great job of emphasizing the subject. Good B&W conversion on the first one, too!
Critique: The second photo is good, but if it were me, I probably would have placed the intersection right between their heads and zoomed out a little. Also, these look good with the color, clarity, and exposure, but they all seem a little grainy. What was your ISO? Was it dark out?
it was getting dark... ISO 400. I heard rebel xt has problems with grain even at 400.
You follow the rule of thirds very well. My eyes go right to their eyes. Your kids are so cute! Haha yeah our adventure into Mendon was a hoot I should have come visited!
