either you used a flash on this, or a REALLY strong spot light. unfortunately close up flash makes for some nasty highlights, as evidenced in the reflection on the balls and their noses and cheeks. it also makes the background unnaturally dark. if you can use more notural or ambient light with a higher ISO, you can minimize this effect, even with a little fill-flash. composition is ok, kids are adorable, BW conversion is quite nice, particularly given the annoying basic editing rules. overall a nice effort.
