Framing is great - the only thing I would do is consider removing the ship on the horizon.

The rest is really good and I'm sure she will be impressed with your undoubted talent.

oh my GOSH what a wonderful photograph! your dodging and burning in the rocks was done very well but the picture has such a wonderful background that it takes away from the impact of your wonderful happy kids. I would suggest a vignette of sorts by just darkening around the kids in a circle, definitely focusing on darkening the sky. That will make the lightest part of the photograph your children and they will catch your eye very quickly. I also think it could use a teeny bit of saturation boost as well. Great shot! i know your wife will love it!

Wow! That's a cool shot. It looks more like a painting, though.

I think it is delightful and does a good job of showing their personalities. From the horizon down everything looks great. I would just suggest trying to darken the sky center and left. It overpowers the nice light areas around the children/rocks and draws my eye there quickly.

Otherwise, looks superb and I'm sure she will love it. IN fact, I'm sure she will love it regardless of what you do with the sky! ;)

Nicely done. The eye is drawn straight down the hall to waldo.

Great tones. I like how they play with the shadows.
