Greetings from the Critique Club!
What a wonderful shot. Such emotion and such wonderful composition. I love the B&W treatment as well.
The first thing I did think when I saw it was someone's little girl after she was done playing and they caught her rubbing her eyes, perfect! Then I read your comments and I was close! ;) I use my children a lot as well.
I love the feel of this shot, the dirty little girl, the feeling of being alone and lost, the dirty dress everything. The only things that give me just a touch of concern are one, the focus. Could be just a touch, a tiny smidge sharper to really bring out the edges of the shot and two the lack of definate black/white spots, it seems to be a lot of gray, and some of them are really blending. Either adjusting the levels just a touch or adding a bit of brightness/contrast to make it pop just a touch more would really put this one over the top for me. I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge, but if I had this would have gotten a 7 or 8 from me, with the adjustments a 9 or 10.
If you take my suggestions and rework this shot I would love to see the results.
Good luck in future challenges and I hope my comments help.

| This is truly a captivating image. The child's expression and the way she looks are perfect for your interpretation of the challenge theme. Very well done, and I do hope you do well. |

| Beautiful and hard to look at the same time. I feel that you captured the emotion very well. I would have loved to see a bit more space around her. |

| Rather sad image.. or should I say an image of a sad young lady. Not appealing therefore it must be desolate, right? |

| Awwwwww. How sad! Nice photo for this challenge. It does raise a desolate feeling in my heart even thinking about a beautiful little girl like her being abandoned. |
