Rebecca, I love your "feel" to this photo, but think all have said valid things above me!

I think the point Chris made about the kids heads...hopefully Linda will jump in here...is a concern, but I am questioning whether this is a cause of your imaging technique (but it is extemely hard to merge photos in Photoshop unless you have used crop lines or a level reference for match up) or, honestly, I think it is the little girl's dress. It is a beautiful dress, one we all dream of portraying in a portrait - like page 58 in Chris' book - but I don't think it fits her at all. I think she looks like a "square" figure because it is boxy on her petite body and could be causing an optical illusion here. Can you trim it down and show a little more of her leg? This might help with the concern about rendering the little boy's leg too.

Lovely Kids!
