It's a great capture, but the partial head on the left and on the right are quite distracting. Nothing much you can do about it, but it lessens an otherwise interesting shot.

I only wish those two kids who have a sliver of their head in the picture were not in it.

I would have cropped more left and right but then again, I am not sure. The child left is distracting but I suppose you could not have cropped more. Good luck.

Just looks like a random school yard shot. Lacks interest and defined subjects.
