A new scoop might have made this a little more effective. Also, the hand seems to belong to someone older, not a child.

This image gives me a feeling of overexposure and a blue tint, the girl's features get blurred maybe with the soft focus, she is such a cutie though..

Hello from the Critique Club!

This image captures the end of the day and a pleasant sunset. It evokes feelings of calmness and contemplation.

The picture though seems to be more of a sunset picture than a silhouette: The silhouette is too indistinct or nondescript to be the focus or key element of the image - It is the sunset that is the prime focus here.

The eye is drawn to the centre of the image where the most intense light is, behind the tree. However, the tree is out of focus and the wires dissecting the picture are a distraction and pull the eye to the right where there is little to gain or hold the viewer̢۪s attention.

The bottom half of the image is very dark and over-dominant and serves no real purpose. It cuts the picture in half and is not easy on the eye. Using the rule of thirds would rectify this. As would taking a lower stance and aiming the camera up to get more sky and consequently more balance in the picture.

Due to your exposure the whole image is flat and lacks depth. Using a smaller aperture would help.
