Taken in RAW (never tried before as I didn't have a converter). I've learnt that it is irrelevant to set set the camera to black & white when shooting raw :-)
Very little done - desaturate, adjusted contrast and levels then resized.
Not too happy with the sky as it ended up a bit washed out.

(26/38) Very nicely composed. I wonder if you could have experimented with different black and white channels such that the people didn't blend in with the background.
IMO (which does not count for much) your tones are just a bit flat, and although the little girl is in this...it distracts from the true subject..again...JMO
A bit more contrast on this would have made a truly excellent shot, IMO. I like the addition of the people. They help give it a bit of context and sense of scale.
