Little ones Hiking

Please critique.

There seem to be some elements of the pic that seems to be working well here... not able to call them out.

Pls let me know how this came out and what work it still needs.

Much appreciated!
Thanks.

I think most of this image works very well. Two things catch my eye, one you can't do anything about, and that's that the balance would have been better had you the shortest child in the middle vice on the end, the other is that the overall look and feel of this could be enhanced greatly with careful, selective dodging, burning and contrast enhancements. The bright patch of sky above the dark children's hair means the eye is pulled away from them. The bright background of the path causes the same issue, but overall, it's a nice image.

Almost "The Walk to Paradise Garden". Little too busy on the edges, but that could be fixed.

Thank you! Will look into selective dodging and burning.

Good point about the balance aspect, will keep that in mind for future shoots!

Thanks.

For the edges, did you mean fixed by cropping ? I kept the same to bring out some lines (fence) and I though it helped bring out some perspective (small kids)

W. Eugene Smith framed his subjects in his iconic photograph by "burning" the edges, turning them nearly black.

You could do something along those lines if you wish.
