Convert photo to black and white and lighten the background. Touchups should be minimal and not obvious. The inspiration comes from a blog posting form Chris loves Julia,
I like the overall subject composition with the extra white space too. The measurements of the frames are 24" x 36" with the the frame moulding 1" wide.
Sizing
Adjust relative sizing of the two kids. Provide the max size possible, but make the canvas' size match. Here is photo of them standing side by side so they can be sized appropriately. Sizing could have been avoided with manual focus mode, a tripod and some tape on floor to keep kids at same distance.

The 2 pictures will be leaned on the mantel of a white living room above a fireplace ,For proportion, given the pixel quality of the photos we'll go with frames that are about 20" x 26" aka 50.8cm x 66.04. Also 22" x 28" is sold at Wayfair has right size and look too.or on a shelf in our Laundry room. 24" x 36", is too gib, but I'd like to be close to the original ratio. Having calculated max sizes without losing quality,
| Photos | Max Size at 200ppi | Max Size at 300ppi |
|---|---|---|
| 2518 x 3822 | 12.59" x 19.11" 32cm x 48.5cm | 8.39" x 12.72 21cm x 32cm |
So final photo sizes need to be,
| Room | Proper Ratio | Minor Adjustments Given Space | Adjusted with Frames |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living Room Fireplace Mantle | 19.1" x 27.5 | 20" x 27.5" (mantle is long) | 19" x 26.5" |
Amateur Attempt
I pulled up Photoshop 7 and did my own sample.
