Very good Summer holiday mood. Something to remember on the long winter nights.

The first picture of the kids on the skyline (with a bit of fence) makes a good pair with the one of three gulls. You could frame them and hang them side by side.

Thank you. The one with the fence and the children felt immediately good. But I struggled with the color balance (green/blue of landscape vs yellow/red tones of skin color). I'm still not completely satisfied.

It looks just right on my monitor. Slightly cool, and that suits a day with so much blue sky. I don't think you have to worry about the skin tones -- if it was a close up portrait you would want them warmer, but here they harmonise with the wide spaces of the Summer air.
