Thanks Jeremiah, Marvin & Peter for your points. Some I can't fix, like the size of younger but I would like to work more on the faces & the water. I think I understand what to do as far as angularness on the boy on the left and the dark values on the younger, but not sure how to fix the water that Jeremiah mentioned. Help in that area would be appreciated. The streaks of light in the denim really aren't there but are a result of the glare in the picture. Both coveralls are pretty much the same.

I'm going to tone down the brightness in the eyes as I agree you wouldn't see that much "sparkle" from that distance and also Marvin, I see the light values are glaring at me in the areas you mentioned. (Feet, left arm and left side of sitting boy.)

Once again, thanks so much for your help. I really want to learn about portrait painting and this site gives me much to consider. Read on one thread where Karen Wells is being encouraged to do a video. Please do Karen, as I learn so much from your critiques and Peggy's also. I plan on buying her video from the proceeds of this commission.
