Wow - now that I've finally gotten the site to load...
I do like the last one - but I also think #1 is very striking. But it would be a much stronger image in a square crop.
Cheers,

Oooooooooh!! 3 and 4 are superb - the first ones are a little too 'eery' for this kind of child shoot I feel. Nice work though!

The first 3 are excellent - all tell a story that is made more powerful by the contre jour shooting. The last pic does not have the same impact IMO as the last third of the body disappears. . . maybe more powerful with a pano crop.

I like #1 and #3 a lot. #2 the cloud behind the child detracts from the silhouette effect, and #4 has too much detail in the dark spots, but I like the composition and rainbow. If you could lift the black point a bit on the foreground I think it'd work really well.

that 2nd one is great but i feel its to wide if you crop in a bit more that would improve it
excellent work and great mood established

I really like the 3rd and 4th. Although maybe too much detail in the childs shirt in the 4th? Would be great if completely silhouette.
Very nice shots

Love the mood that all 4 photo convey. The emotion in the 4th photo I can really relate to... especially as I have 2 young sons.

I really like these. My only criticism is that the dark clouds in No 2 are too close to the child in the air, thus reducing the focus on the sillhouette.

Despite the valid comments about the cloud in the second shot, it's my favourite. 1/3 are also all good. The last one is good too, but it does't really fit with the series since it's not so much about the silhouette!
Finally, when I was scrolling down the 'topic review' pane, I noticed that if you make #2 into an very accentuated widescreen (what, 3:1 or 3.5:1), (IMO) it's even more effective.
