I think the moment you're trying to capture is great! Things I'd suggest to improve upon is the anatomy. The readability in the the shoulder area where the little girl is sitting is unclear. it's very hard to tell where arms begin and end or if they're in the right places. also their heads seem to be floating in place because those areas are too dark, and you cant see their necks. Get some photo reference of kids on peoples shoulders for anatomy understanding.
The other thing I'd suggest is Getting reference photos of people in the snow so you can better understand the dark and light values of a snowy day. When that light hits snow it can really bounce off that white surface and lighten things up around it.
Lastly, I think if the characters were looking in different directions from one another it would add more life to the image. Maybe the older woman is keeping an eye out for danger, which would also explain why she's so serious.
Great job! I Hope this helps!
