Kayaking Portrait




I've just started on a portrait of my son below based on a photograph that I thought I liked, but as I'm putting the colors on the canvas, I am starting to see that his sister's kayak in the background really competes with the image of my son.

I am thinking that perhaps moving her further away (modified photo image) would help? Perhaps I should turn her around so that she is facing towards the right rather than both figures facing out the left of the image? I am afraid that removing her altogether would leave this big yellow kayak at the bottom with nothing to balance it. (And since they are always kayaking together, I would like to at least keep a suggestion of her there.)

Any other thoughts on the composition, before I get too far into this, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Canvas is 20" x 16"
