Hello Bert,
Let's start with the things I like in your photo: the little girl, she seems to be lovely, even if we can't see her face. The fact that she is walking barefoot creates a special atmosphere. Her position in your composition and the way she is just stuck in front of ... of what?
But I really don't like these big electric cables, nor the manhole. These concrete elements take out all the poetry of your shot and are really disturbing I think.
Another thing, the shadow is not 'nicely drawn' (too early in the afternoon probably as shown by the strong light).
And a last one (I am sorry, I am just trying to write something useful), I imagine you were standing but you are so tall in comparison with her... go down on your knees and try to look at the world as she is doing it through your camera to show us her vision of that incredible sight!

Then... come on Bert, she is lovely and I love photos with kids, but here... I am sure that you can do better:-)
Sorry for not being more encouraging, I saw you doing very nice photos, better composed that this one, although the main subject could hardly be cuter than this one.
I am looking forward to the next one;-)
XXX Marianne
