Love the scene with one exception - whatever it is that is sticking up from the bottom of the frame in the center. I'm sure you tried to shoot around it and could not - been there! - but I do find it distracting. I like the decision to go black and white but the tonal range seems a bit limited to me (I'm on a laptop and traveling so that limits what I can see). Commenting only at this point - accepting Melethia's challenge; yours is image #3 in my random display order.

Like the B&W treatment, although could be a tad dark in areas, causing to lose defination

This is a terrific shot. The attitude and posture of the child are so natural and sociologically poignent - reminds me almost of Dorothea Lange's dust bowel photographs. But the aspect ratio is unnatural and unfilmic in my view and the scratchy overlay an unnecessary distraction from an otherwise winning shot. Scratches in my film never looked like that.
