Compositionally. . .

Carl there is much information in this frame. Perhaps, consider making this image smaller say 600x400 would allow us to view the scene all at once, that would mitigate having to crop away bits of your image. I want to stay in the frame and view the Lotus flower and girl, Carl. I am pulled out of the frame by the lighter colored 'escape route to the far left of the frame. I do not perceive that corner as having any significant visual information pertinent to the title of you image or its main subject. Cropped differently, Carl this image could tell the flower girls story, strongly.

she's beautiful!

such an innocence about her, heightened by what she is doing. maybe if the tin shed were right the way across then you would lose some of the distraction to the left and she would form more of a focal point. i love the 'order and simplicity' that surrounds her. a good shot.
