Hi Mara,
Personally, I think I would crop the canvas even more. I think because the kids are so huddled together it would look less snapshot-y with a long thin profile. Also I would be concerned with the way the little boys toes are cut off. I would consider moving the bottom up to just below the girl's pinky on the left and a bit above the fence on the the top right. Looking at it that way, (reducing the knees to just shapes) they will be fine, especially because the boys pants are a different color so it breaks up the monotony. Just a thought.
PS. I ADORE your "lost in imagination" painting.
