Thanks all for the comments.
I guess I should explain the angle and composition I chose because I got so many suggestions on it.
I shot down on the mother and child because standing at their level had them lost in the background (I did make photos like this)...and this was cleaner.
I shot this wide because, while I wanted to keep the subjects isolated I wanted to keep the punching bags in the frame to contribute information as to the type of the environment they were in.
I do wish that leg on the left were gone, but it was there in real life ..and so I leave it there. The moment was past when the leg was gone, so while the image could have been cleaner, the moment between mother and child was lost. Looking through the comments and looking at the photo again, it was probably too wide..but I still would want to keep the bags and background elements there.
Hope this doesn't come off as an excuse, but it's an explanation of wwhy I shot it this way. To tell a story and not so much to look as pretty...(though I did want it to look pretty).

| the background distractions spoil this...if you moved in closer and cut out all the legs in the background this would have been great... |

| I think a better crop would have focused more on the two main subjects which would have added a more emotional connection to an otherwise sweet image. |

| OK, so next time get down on the same level as your subject. Makes for a much stronger photo. 6. |

| Its really nice - a tighter crop wud have made this even more beautiful. The feet on the left side and the leg of the woman on the back distracts the focus from the mother and the kid 7 |

I really like this photo. There is a warm family feel to it. I enjoy how it gives a feminine side to such a masculine sport.
I would've liked it better if you zoomed in or croped the top of the photo to take away the trainers in the back. They are a bit distracting. |

| Maybe a closer shot would have attracted better the attention on the subject |

| I think this would have been better as a tighter composition, as it is the clutter around the ages is pretty distracting. |
