Not sure why no one has commented on this? I think it's a really good candid shot showing excellent perspective. Nice one

I must have missed this shot while I was on my hols.

For me the flare off the steps is bit distracting and I would crop the shot to remove some of that and bring more empasis to the main subjects.

I've done two different crops, as I'm not sure which looks better (using DPP) -

1.

And a wider shot of the scene -

Second new crop for me - wider view is even more distracting IMO

What about some selective exposure adjustment on the steps for the original crop ? - I prefer the composition of the original.

I shall fire up Elements tomorrow and have a fiddle with the original shot.

Messed about with layer adjustments, i think I've killed the glare enough -

I think that works quite well.
