I like the low angle that you have used to bring the little girl into shot straight on and at her height, that is really excellent. I am afraid I don't like the blown out sky or the large area of nothing interesting (tarmac path) that seems to take up way too much of the shot at the right of the scene - although the pigeon helps a little, but not enough IMO. Also I would have like to have seen more of the child’s face.
But having said that, it does tell a story and in a journalistic sort of way it is a good image, but the blown out sky and other parts of the image (girls stockings etc) as well as the empty spaces on the right are a little bit too much for me I am afraid.
Can I ask, are you using manual or automatic settings? Because if you are using auto, then try manual instead or exposure compensation - yes I know you have to pre-think the shot (which is what we all need to do all the time even when just walking down the street with nothing apparently happening in front of us - but just in case), but that is what you have to do and get used to doing before you can nail this type of shot.
