This image doesn't have the impact that I think you were looking for. It is too centered and too far from the girl to convey the emotions of grief and longing.

Very nice composition, however, the photo is too white washed/over-exposed for me...

Touching...

The small size of image makes it difficult to assess. The image is over-exposed - thus the sky blown out. Seems to have a lot of noise too.

I think the photo is a bit too small, and also seems to be very overexposed in the sky.

This doesn't grab me; and I think it is because it is so flat, and the lady looks like a tourist and not a mourner.

Use of the full 640 pixel limit is highly recommended.

Other than that, I don't really like the bright light in this.

This picture could be so powerful with more contrast and without the distracting blown out sky. 6

The message of the image has some merit. Some problems I see:
- you're shooting right at the sun, so the glare is very harsh
- it's too small and looks pixel-y
- the composition is overly busy (could you have gotten closer and to the side?)
- the grey tones are overly dominant here (some editing on contrast may have helped)

Hope this helps.

Blown out. A little crooked. Not in focus. Too small. Grainy. Indistinct.

And absolutely fittingly so.

A very good demonstration how technical perfection is not the same as emotional impact. Nice use of what I am guessing is a less than perfect medium.
