Fall color portrait

Took this picture over the weekend. Interested in your c&c. What else can I do to make it pop?

I think the colors pop nicely. But since that's the backdrop of the shot, I might try a closer crop and lose the sky (which doesn't add much to the shot, to me).

If you wanted to boost the saturation on the trees, I would do that selectively leaving out the family. But to me, that doesn't seem necessary.

Here's an example crop:

I like the new crop. Perhaps hit the people with some Shadows/Highlights or Curves to reduce their brightness just a tad.
