Lighting
 
It's a lovely image of a lovely family. Perhaps you should make minor adjustments with your photo editing program by adding a slight increase in contrast with a slight decrease in brightness. You could also make minor adjustments using curves. :)

It is indeed a lovely picture, I hope you don't mind, but I played with it a little. Pretty much doing what Lighting suggested, however, I added a couple of other small things. The younger boy's fly is smack dab in the middle of the shot. I darkened the snap of his fly, so it doesn't draw the eye. I also cropped a little off the bottom, trying to bring the eye up a little, to their faces. Hope you like it, if not, one great thing about computers is there is a "delete" button.

Don't know if you'll like this one or not. I kind of did some HD to back ground then did some cosmetics to Him and Her.

Sorry! It's automatically put on from Lightroom. I didn't even realize that.

I figured it was done in you exporting. It's so nice to meet someone who also forgets little things like that. LOL

You wouldn't like my wife. She hates when I forget things she tells me. Problem is, she's always telling me something. :lol:
