wow, thanks for your honest critique, I really appreciate it. This photo was a accidental one as I didnt set this up it was just a candid shot, as for the little girl being out of focus i thought that, that was the point of the shot showing how the youth & the past is a blurred thing that passes you by in a blink of an eye & how the present is so real & inescapable, knowing as well where this photo was taken, the conditions of life in general in Kosovo, I dont think this poor old woman even remembers her youth as she didnt have one. but yeah i agree with you the technicalities of this photo are poor. thanks for the advise. regards Edlira Voges.
Absolutely good concept and title, but the technicalities lack behind. Composition is a bit ackward due to the placement of Your subjects. I think You would do better lowering Your camera to show more of Your subjects and less of the trees behind which are not so important in the whole picture. Maybe a faster shutter speed would take care of the little girl blurry image. Focus is also hard to determine. Actually everything in the picture looks soft. Keep on trying You have a good eye for action shots. Just remember the little details.
