My favorite subject who it seems nearly impossible for me to catch, and some bubbles.

Looks like you were dealing with some pretty harsh light there. But you gotta snatch what you can when they are a moving target

A few points you might consider, I am referring only to frame one and similar shooting scenarios: Moving Children: Frame wide and crop later and in the framing give the moving subject a big space into which they can move. Dappled Light: usually best to wait for the shot until the light allows the best facial expression. Metering / Exposure: know the two exposures which you will require. Know the exposure on skin tones for shade and know the exposure on skin tones for full sun. Push as far as possible to the limit of exposure, without blowing skin tones: it is easier to pull up the shadows if the highlights are right on the limit. *** All that stated – with a bit of PP, you will have a good capture in frame 1. Here is a rough 3 minute indicative. The original is on top: (Crop; sharpen; dodge and burn face and arm and head; clone some face area; increase mid-tone contrast; enhance yellow; enhance red; re-sharpen; clone background – the light area on shed.)

Thanks for the feedback. I kept trying to correct the wrong items when taking the picture. This sends me off into the manuals to figure it out.

I had to go back a few years of shooting to find this shot of my grandson playing with a bubble gun. I shot it with a 35mm 1.8 and was quite close to both he and the bubbles (almost uncomfortably so). My intent was to capture the bubbles in air so I used a high shutter speed, low dof to blur out the BG but yet still get good detail on the boy. f:/4, 1/2000 ISO 100. It was quite a bright day with lots of reflective surfaces.
