I think the composition is good. You've got the heads in a diagnol line which is good. It's cute the way they are holding each other.

Personally I think it is a touch under exposed in the foreground. Did you meter off the skin from the key light?

Also, since you're clearly into using multiple strobes, I think a hair light would seperate them from that bright background to 'pop' the photo a bit more.

Great work!

Thanks Matthew,

You're right it's a little underexposed. I do not own a light meter, so it's just the feel.
The biggest problem was that when I finally had my settings well, the kids didn't want to pose anymore

I also agree there had to be a hairlight. I had one, but I guess I have not used it correctly (I guess it was not well aimed)

Thanks for you're comments!
