It is a nice image but I think a crop could intensify the emotion of this shot.
Since you already cut off their legs below the knees why not crop from the bottom up to her skirt and from the top to almost the top of his cap. You could even crop a bit in from the left. What you would then have would be the essence of this image without a bunch of dead frame that really adds nothing yeilding a stronger image.
Mb1 crop advice would make this a nice shot. As is there is too much and too little at the same time. I'd even crop more than MB would from the bottom and go to just below her shirt.
Cute cute cute. i agree with polarbears, it just needs a puppy or a kitten. It reminds me of those holiday cards with the toddlers in oversized clothes and roses.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride!
The reflections from the car behind are a distraction in both. But I love the pose and conversion. The second crop works best. Nice job getting eyeball level with your kids. Clone the reflections......

Try Burning in the two vertical reflections from the sun in the top left corner or clone them out.
