Looks like an accidental shutter fire. Looks to be no concept.

The best camera is one that still works!
I've never liked images that have a large OOF object in the foreground ... and this is dominated by one.

what?
I am not getting any resonance from this picture; the thing running through my head is "How can I fix this for myself to enjoy?" and that can easily become rude. So I won't "fix it" but will try to understand why it doesn't drive me wild.
The geometries of the sign and the houses are solid and if those trees weren't there, I could see those geometries playing well together (with possibly a slight change in camera position).
The trees really scramble things up for me at the moment. They are not background (because I am very interested in the houses back there); they are kind of blocking my view. In fact the lines of the branches are strong but they don't lead me anywhere; and esp they don't lead my eye to either the sign or the houses
FOOTNOTE: I have now just read the previous commentary, and find our conflicting viewpoints kind of interesting. In time, I may change my opinion (it's happened before
) but I'm leaving my words as written in the first place.
EDIT: Good grief a few folks jumped just a minute ahead of me ! . . . I am number 5 . . . okay, in the morning, I will post a new picture.

Like this photo a lot, has a sort of mystical, magical realism feeling, I know it's your daughter, but feels like maybe a shamanistic dance, that's just my impression.

Agree with the magical/mystical feeling. The way she is hunched forward and the blur of her arms gives me a creepy feeling. Not what you were intending, I don't imagine.

This is like speed dating or the three minute thesis. Raid, I like this picture. Yes we know it's your daughter, but in this perspective there is something a little scary (her intention) with those long arms and the shortened torso of some older woman....

This is dreamlike and mystical, as others have said. For me, knowing who the girl is, is kind of confusing my interpretation of it.

Reminds me of the Hunch of Notre-Dame coming to eat me... I can't say I dislike it.
