You did such a great job with the light here. I feel like I would enjoy an evening sitting in a boat watching the sun set on this lovely scene.

Nice healing on the petal there on the right hand side. I find it hard sometimes, when doing an extraction and a cloning, to get the edge just right. You did a wonderful job.

I absolutely love what you did in the final composition! You have made the child the Main focus of the shot with the parents on either side as the 'supporting' cast. Children are a combination/result of the pairing of their parents (both in physical looks and behavior) and here you show us that very strongly. With just the half of the mom's face on the left and half the dad's face on the right, the two halves hold in place the combination of them both - the adorable little girl! Two halves combine into one whole! You would not get that visual symbolism with the original but with the final composition is sings out strongly. The close crop also eliminates the more distracting elements of the wall that was behind the family. With this crop you bring us closer to observe the family as a strong unit. I also love what you did with the processing - the bump into brightness/contrast levels by moving it into a high key approach and the desaturation of the strong color tones (such as the pink of the girl's sweater) really shines the spotlight on the family's faces. Wonderful job!

You know, each of these, the original and this one, is beautiful in its own way.

Just two delightful treatments of a good starting point.
