Really strong image. Well shot.

I'd try cropping off some of the left side. That would bring the subjects more into dominance. I like the wooden chair, fills the space nicely.

You've got some sort of a problem in the lower left. Lens flare? Maybe not, but some sort of a color artifact. Clone time.

I'd like to smack that kid mugging in the background. Otherwise, a nice family portrait. Maybe crop just a bit off the left?

I love that picture, it is full of contrasting emotions. On my part I would choose to crop it by removing a little to the left and also removing the wooden chair, BUT I would keep the boy in the background, just so that the contrasting emotions be highlited. The old tired woman sitting in front, the babies that look a little worried, and the young boy at the rear who seems to be laughing, not yet aware of the difficulties of life.

Jolie photo. Les deux petits sont très mignons. Ils sont jumeaux peut être? Ils ont l'air si pauvres, ca touche.
