Long shot.. 'shop request.
Discussion
Evening all,
Now I know it's silly posting this here and it's going to end up badly.. But is there any chance somebody could quickly shop a decent background onto this (poor shot! I seem to have forgotten how to take photographs once I was asked to take it!)

I'm really sorry but other than "It's nice and sharp" there's really not a lot one can say about that shot. Frankly, irrespective of any photographic aberrations wrt to the background, you don't have a lot to work with.
An excessive dose of PS might give you desert island beach scene but I would hardly make a difference.
May I suggest an investment in 'Portrait Professional'. The ads and samples seem to indicate magical properties for turning female gargoyles into Hollywood Princesses. Perhaps they have a style for other subjects as well.
Alternatively have you considered a 'tilt/shift' solution working with the line of the infant's heads as the focal point?
My apologies if I have offended any personal sensitivities here but sometimes one has to call a spade a horticultural digging implement.

Haha dont worry no offense taken. I know myself it's frankly a bin job! But I was asked by the team coach to take the shot and I really had nothing to work with. It was inside an ice rink far away from the lighting, I had only my 55-250 with me and then I shot at f/4 for that 'out of focus' feel to it.I'm really sorry but other than "It's nice and sharp" there's really not a lot one can say about that shot.

I don't claim to be a portrait master - in all honesty it's the thing I'm most poor at. I much prefer bugs

Yep exactly something like that! Anything better than that school gym hall-esque look to it! Appreciated Sir.

2 Links to a High Resolution of the small one I made earlier. Wish i just used the larger version from start.
No worries. I kinda like doing this.
