What a powerful photo you've created, highlighting the issue of poverty. Your composition juxtaposes the French chocolates and the mother with her children perfectly. I think rotating the photo slightly clockwise and then cropping it so that it was parallel to the frame of the picture would be my only suggestion for change. 10
