Coming back to this, I think I have to agree with OldBimmer, it's not the scene that I found to be distracting, I kind of like the environment, it's that the border is encroaching on the space, especially with how cropped the scene is already. -- and I still like the pose, and the smidge of detail visible.
I like the setup of this image and how well lit everything in the background is. I also like the fact that the girl is in an awkward or different position than expected.
What a strange pose, with the hat on, she reminds me of a mime. The park bench adds character and story, but th background plants and brick wall take away some of the impact.
