I know this sounds crazy, but I would fill the frame with their faces and crop all of that background out. They are cute kids and your light and conversion are both great though :)

I love this PP treatment... it makes everything so surreal and you did a great job with it. Your tones are lovely as well. Is it an old church of some kind??

I love the sky... it looks like it could be bright white paper. If the trees weren't visible, it would look like she was in a spaceship or a studio :) hehe

I adore the POV and the expression on the kids face... he looks like he REALLY does not want a photo taken or he is not sure how to pose. I am so glad you did not straighten the horizon, it would have killed this photo entirely. :)

I would like to see a hair more contrast in the midtones, but this is an awesome photograph either way. Your angle of view rocks and the cat seems to be posing like a supermodel :)

I hope you don't mind, I took a stab at editing this so I could give you an idea of what I am talking about :)

Here's my edit:


I used the smudge tool set at 12% strength and went over the flame, then I increased the contrast a bit, applied a warming filter, low NI, and sharpened it once.

Fire is very hard to photograph because you are trying to balance between really really bright light and darkness. It is tough to expose for one or the other in the same photograph :) You did a good job!
