Opinions, please

So I have a couple photos with some pretty bad shadowing, and was trying to fix them up today. Unfortunately, I decided to do this on my work laptop, which isn’t necessarily the best tool for this kind of thing. Anyway, I’m wondering if you all can take a gander and tell me if you think they look okay.

The problem was that the faces under the hats were in deep shadow, and very very dark. I used a Photojojo trick on them, and I think it worked okay, but I’m not sure if I was subtle enough.

If you’re wondering, the same setup was used for both shots (although I obviously didn’t take the one that I am in) – as follows:

Camera: Canon PowerShot S2 IS
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 6 mm
Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV
Flash: Flash fired, red-eye reduction

Thoughts?
