Beautiful setting, beautiful pose and beautiful children!

I have a couple of suggestions. I would crop it just as you've shown it here. It's less of a portrait and more of a painting, though. Depends on what you're aiming for, I suppose.

I would agree with the suggestion to move the horizon line so it's not in line with the head.

I would not add a sailboat unless you have a photo of one taken in these exact same lighting conditions from this exact angle. I have learned (by making many of my own mistakes) that adding something which is not there is just about the most difficult part of painting!
