Patricia,

Without nit picking the photo, what strikes me is that you could give these kids much more space, and accentuate two basic lines. The one vertical line created by her back and the almost horizontal line of his left shoulder. Let these lines tail to nothing keeping them quick and spontaneous. You could practice their placement many times to get the right angle and distance. Still keeping space from ends to the edge. And keep the girls right side very brief.

Try giving the whole thing much more air around the sides than you might think.

I would do very brief sketches to locate the images in this new space. I think this placement could bring a new found importance to the kids. Much more than the the current composition. It may be that the lines I suggest don't work to your benefit and others will emerge. These sketches will identify that.

My two bits.
