Hi Imran

Unfortunately this is not a great photo.

To start - it is not such a good idea to photograph subjects in strong sunlight. As you can see, there are very strong patterns of light and shadow across these children's faces. There are also areas in the background that are harshly overexposed.

Although the children are your photo's subject, at least 60% of the photo here is not the children, but mere background. In this case, the context is not particularly helpful so should be minimised.

With regard to composition - try Googling that word! You will find that a photograph will usually look better if your subject is not placed in the centre of the photo.

Finally - most of us write Photographers Notes. They explain what we tried to achieve, and how we tried to achieve it, and allow our fellow members to leave more helpful critiques. A Photographer's Note is also considered polite and friendly.

If you do not write Photographer's Notes, most people will ignore you.
