Well, the grenadier looks a little "unbalance," as if the figure ought be leaning a bit more "forward." What might help would be a bit of drift wood, a rock, an empty ammo can, or the like, to make an "obstacle" to change the pace, which would change the pose. An extra element, to make an odd number of "things" to see visually could help.
Now, vignettes like this are their own thing; we have to use some artistic license. That beign said, one of the first thoughts I had seeing the figures was "spread out! y'r bunching up!" But, that's a personal reflex--tough to show "protoypical" separations and not have a lot of boring "nothing" in a scene, too.
Could be my monitor, and the way the digital format of the photos, but gloss is almost never a good finish for fabrics on figures.
The weapons are bit dark; I like to use panzer or gunship gray as a base for parkerized/anodized metalic parts. Oily Black is not bad for the early 'Nam era plastic furniture on M16s; Engine Black is not bad for newer. M60s are about 50 different metalic grays, so, I, personally, like getting all my metalics out and highlighting different bits in various differnt colors. But, that's me.
Oh, and scrounge your spares box for a middling random pouch for rhe grenadier, the issue vest has never carried enough grenades to keep any M203 operator I've met happy. Or, you could "bash" up the fabric carrier for the M60 cardboard ammo box, which both figures could be carrying. Off the top of my head, that box/pouch is about 2.5 x 4 x 5 tall on a 1.5-2 strap about 60" long end-to-end.
