Not bad; the lighting is good. You've done a nice job of balancing fill and ambient. I would prefer to see his shoulders turned a little more and have him looking more toward the camera, but that's fairly minor. Other than that, I would level the tilted horizon and be happy with the product!
Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

I think you leveled out the fill and ambient balance well (though I think the flash is maybe a touch too hot), but there's an obvious and large difference between the color of the sun light and the fill light. It would be hard to fix it in post, because fixing one would compound the other. A very light yellow gel would have evened this out a bit, and then allowed you to fix it how you wanted in post.
I would probably burn the sand in front of the boy in post, it's a bit too bright, especially because you see the sand behind which is much darker.

Thanks for the feedback. Would you say the little girl is too warm or too cool against the background?

fjrabon said:yeah, white balance is WAY better.
