The moment passed in a second and would never come again with this child in such contemplation about the task at hand.  You couldn’t set up a shot with this much reality as the photographer’s eye captured at this precise instant.   

Her posture and placement are excellently framed in the door way.  The muted colors of the building and stairs blend nicely with the pastels of her clothing. 

This is such a nice image I would like to make a couple of suggestions.  It is my understanding that this was originally shot on film and then digitized.  There appears to be some brake down in the shadows at the top of the stairs that is probably there on the original film.  This often happens with second generation images.  It might be possible to have the photograph rescanned at a higher resolution to bring back some of this detail.  Inthe upper right hand corner there is an aquamarine colored triangle that was probably caused by the scanning that could be corrected.

Also you may be able to lower the luminosity of the yellow broom straw.  It is so much brighter than the rest of the image that it could be taken down about a stop to come closer to the soft pastels of the rest of the image.
