Your DOF looks great! 

The first picture looks a little underexposed to me, but I'm on my laptop, so it's hard to know if that's why or not.  You've achieved some nice bokeh!

@ Sarah, thanks for your nice comment! Yes, the first one is a bit under exposed. Tried to make it a bit better with some adjustments, but I guess I could have done a better job.

I think they look great!  the skin tones are soft, the focus is all on the kids, good job.

I love the first one even if it is a little underexposed!!

Nice that you are practicing and posting.  I'd like to see the eyes sharper in these.  Gotta watch out with the fast lenses!
