As I said during the voting I find this to be a very cute image. There are a few minor flaws in it that would really improve on it. For one thing there is a very nasty glare in front of the little boys foot that just grabs the attention. Another thing is there are just too many extra people in the photo. getting rid of the little boy to the right side and the woman in the bottom corner would help a lot.
I think the lighting is fairly well on this shot. It's too bad you didn't get the little girl looking at you instead of the way she is.
This was, in my opinion, a 9 if cropped differently. I think a tighter crop on the boy and girl to exclude the people around them that distract would enhance it.
The girl is catching the boy's attention! And she manages to be the center of interest in this image despite the cluttered background. But the cut-off heads are distracting and I wish the girl's eyes were more apparent. Stooping down to get the camera on her level might have helped. But despite her graceful costume, she isn't in a very graceful pose.
I love this photo in black and white... but it's a little too busy. Maybe a little cropping to remove Mom in the foreground and a larger aperture to blur the unavoidable background would have made this a better shot.
