Mother & Daughter

I took this picture a few weeks ago and just got around to editing. Let me know what you think and/or how I can improve it!

I really like it. Good exposure and composition. Cute smiles.

To be picky, the mother's face look a little artificial. Did you PP/retouch much?

Try using a fill flash to put some catch lights in their eyes as it'll make them stand out, and not to mention fill in the black holes where's there's no details in the blacks. You can tell that the picture was under exposed by at least a stop and a half from all the aritfacting and rough edges caused by exposing for your background. The black holes are really distracting for me and really take my eyes away from what you want to view in the image, which are the people. Fill flash would really make this picture work.

I find it exceptionally noisy and the saturation is too much...
