C&C welcome. I'm new, and need all the advice I can get. Does it look like too much PP?

You've certainly given it an aged look... doesn't look like something straight out of a modern DSLR. Whether that's too much is entirely up to your judgement, but I think the skin has lost detail, and the exposed left arm's a bit bright. Cheers, Tony

My personal opinion is that there is a tad too much PP - but having said that, what is right is totally subjective (whats the point of having an opinion if it can't be different from someone else?)

I think it might benefit from a slightly tighter crop; keep the crossbar though as that that is has the focus of the girl being lifted.

Yeah, I tried to crop it tighter, but it seemed to lose something by chopping off the feet. You're correct that cropping the crossbar (or even putting it higher in a tighter crop) loses a huge subject in the frame. So it's about as tight as I can get it.

I like it just the way it is; I like the symmetry of the objects in the background with the foreground.

Well I'm going to be different. I think your (my) eye follows up the vertical pole and then along the crossbar and out of the picture.

I think a tighter crop excluding the crossbar is better. Leave the imagination to ponder what is up there. On a tighter crop my eye goes up the pole, back down again and to the girls back into the picture.
