That's what makes composition so subjective. Without the weed, my "eye" was split between the bushes and the child (and the child was facing out of the frame).crystal wrote: My eye goes to the child and to the weed. I know the child is the subject, but my eye can not help but see the weed first. Then when I do look at the child, since the weed is next to the childs head, I follow the weed.
Overall the composition is not bad at all. It's just that out of focus weed is distracting. The child does stand out, but that weed is almost as tall as the whole image. And at that angle it is bigger then the child. If that weed was the same size as the green branch in the foreground, then I wouldn't say anything.

I understand you didn't want the other people in the photo, but you could have moved to the right, to include less of that brown weed or none at all and just have the green tree next to the kid.
