That's pretty awesome to have near your house! The look of the little girl in blue (color works niiiiiicely there!) by this giant pumpkin (?) is really eye-catching in whoa-did-I-just-see-that way.

However, there are ways to improve this photo, some of which you might be able to do with photo editing software, and some which would require a whole new photo shoot (which may or may not be an option).

In any case, the slope of the ground is kind of jarring. When you're doing a mental size comparison between the girl and the fruitish-looking object (it could be an apple) (which both nicely stand out with their colors), a horizontal line would emphasize the vertical disparity much more, I think.

The background details of the house and the lamp posts are a little distracting, but palatable. Still, with the truck there plus all those other details, there's a lot of background action (although I do like the truck).

Focus: neither the girl nor the giant thing seem to be particularly in focus (the grass is). It adds a bit of a distorted effect to this piece which complements the subject matter to an extent, but aesthetically it seems to me that it is more distracting than anything else--and the piece could be a lot more interesting if, say, the pumpkin thing or the girl were in focus (artistic choice there over which one to choose).

Also, for future photo endeavors, if the girl's head was below the line where the grass ends, the visual components would be more striking in regards to size difference.

You might want to think about adjusting exposure, colors, etc. to give this more of a surreal feel...the grass is kind of bland...but it is really up to you as a matter of artistic presentation (rather than sheer aesthetics).

That is all I have to say for now. Hopefully my comment will help you to work with this piece and future photographic work

This is a nice shot, captured at the right moment, as far as improvement, I think the focus shouldnt be near where the photo was taken but actually at whats in the background, seeing the details on the giant tomatoe and the black truck would've been much more intresting, trying a diffrent angle for the shot might help out too.

Im not much of a photographer but I hope I helped xD
