So about this one. Im not sure what you are talking about under his eye, because you say that you would have to start over to fix it.
Anyways, lets start on the basics. The composition is good and the f-stop is good, although the exposure looks to be about 1/4 to 1/2 a stop to dark. The real issues that i see with this photo is the lack of fill light and the expression captured is a look of confusion and surprise, not a flattering time to snap the shutter.
The child's eyes are very dark, a fill light or bounce would help this. Try not to rely on Post possibilities, your goal is to get it to the line via fundamentals then push over in post.
There is a good amount of work that needs to be done to his face, he seems to have lots of marks. Over all this shot should be left undeveloped.
Some of your later stuff is really good and then not so much. I think you need to look back at some of the factors that really worked and try to carry those to each shoot to add consistency to your work. Developing and identifying those attributes is what we are doing here, so don't fret.
How do I get the fill or bounce light when its cloudy?
This look was about as good as I was going to get. He was screaming and crying almost the whole time.
Ok, so you want to buy a Bounce Card or find something that reflects well. Usually you can buy a fold up bounce that has a White reflector on one side and a Gold reflector on the other. Then hire an assistant to reflect the available and "Key" lights back into the subject.
