Help please.... and other stories!

Hi guys.
Another picture taken in Venice. I love the setup: kids bored to death and mum trying to think about something to cheer them up! I imagine she is saying to them: "Don't worry kids, dad will be back soon and then we'll be off for an ice cream." and in the meantime thinking: "Where did that bastard go! I will give him an earful when he comes back!".
Any comment on the picture? And maybe a different story from you guys? Thank you as always. G

Nice capture, I'd crop it in more - a bit off both sides, maybe some in front, go the whole-hog, a bit off the top as well. Caption, "whose kids are these?, I'll hold'm so they won't fall in..."

I too thought she was holding them to stop them falling in while lunging for a fish.

That's the last place I would like my kids that age to sit... I know how it felt as a kid myself to almost drown... it just happened in the blink of an eye when I fell in the water.

I agree it needs a much tighter crop and the contrast needs a slight adjustment to
