Now that I look at it, the composition is so boring. Will it be better when I add color, or do I need to insert something or move something? It's boring! What also jumps right off the screen is the value of the boy's back to our left. It should all be a darker value, and one even value. I also softened the shadow on the boy on the right and lightened the deep shadow next to his spine.

In the photograph the little boy has a blue shirt on, I was thinking of changing it to red to ad contrasting color to the blue of the ocean and sky. The boy on the left is playing with a little ball, should I made that red as well?
