Greetings from the Critique Club -
My first gut reaction to this is great colors on the kids. You definitely caught an interesting family there.
Now I am not a street photographer either so my judgement here is strictly the opinion of someone who doesn't have a clue. One thing I may have played with is making the family pop a bit more. Your family is in pretty good focus but they dont really stand out from the crowd as much as they could. Maybe layering them and the foreground out and gently blurring the background could have made them stand out a bit more. I may have also bumped up the sat a tiny bit just to really work the colors hard. I know most people in this challenge wanted b&w or sepia images but it would have been a shame for you to go that route and lose the great colors you have. Tweaking them a bit more may have given more impact.
Otherwise I am not sure what else to tell you. You have a nice picture here - not stellar but not a stinker either - which is reflected in your voting pattern and number of comments. Its always hard to comment on an image that really doesnt have anything major wrong with it but at the same time doesnt have that wow power that voters are looking for. You do seem to be in a great area to attempt more images like these (and for that I am jealous). And way to go with your lens choice. Some (including me) chose a very long lens so that they weren't even close to the situation they were shooting. Your choice meant that you were fairly close by which for many would be way out of their comfort zone.
Not sure if any of this helps (or makes sense for that matter). Keep up the good work!

Too much sharpening to compensate OOF I think. |

Aw, how adorable. Great moment to capture on the street. The composition to the right really gives you a sense of where they are. Nice work. |

Nice image, I would have cropped it a bit more to help the subjects stand out. |
