Unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree with Artyste. Here are my thoughts in no particular order.

It's not that I don't like the background or location, I just don't think it's appropriate for this shoot. The bg is a bit 'grungy'. The family is dressed in khakis and denim and look very clean. One of my first thoughts was, "That ground looks awfully dirty. I hope they didn't ruin their pants."

I also noticed that they don't look comfortable. Especially the father. He's got this awkward 'half sit' thing going on. His leg is pulling my attention away from the others. The mom's legs are awkward too.

The wall is going uphill towards the right. A straight on shot so the wall was perpendicular with the ground would have worked better for me.

Background is unappealing...burnt grss. Cute pose but the goat is cut off.

Cute, but again the lighting is harsh and the colors are washed out.
