Shot at the local pool. Straighted, resized, colors lightly adjusted. I know I'll take a beating for having kids in my pictures, but I ain't worried about the score :)

Cute. Perhaps a tighter crop on subjects. There is, at the mo, a large space at the top of the image which is quite off-putting. Well done, Good try =)
I'm not sure if this was staged or you stumbled onto it while out and about. It meets the challenge and is certainly cute. A few things I probably would have changed, though - The harsh shadow on the left unbalances it a little, I would have likely cropped it out. Incidentally the border well very well for this. If this was staged then I think I would have seen how it looked in different light. It seems like a pretty bright light with some harsh shadows so I'm guessing this was around the afternoon time. Slightly earlier or later may have helped soften the light more and compliment the children, adding more of a glow than harshness. Otherwise perhaps having them step back a little so that the shadows feel across them may have been interesting too. Just a little something to add 'wow' and set it apart from 'just another kid pic'
If this is a shot you've set up then I'd suggest that the older girl is repositioned a touch so that just a touch more of her face shows. The lighting is also a little harsh - I assume it's just the time of day.
If this is a candid, then I'd say well captured and well spotted - in those situations I understand one has less control.
Adorable little girls! I sure would like to have seen more of their face in the picture though....maybe crop it down a bit so their faces would stand out more. Other then that, it's a very nice picture! :)
