I love this. Very well executed. The position of the stair railing and the people lead your eyes through the image.
Nice comp here - Kid at top left adds tension.

"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
Thanks Iggy and Marko.
This was largely a deliberate composition with the leading rail (thanks for noticing Iggy) and the spacing of the people and even that they were all looking in different directions to lead the eye around the photo. However, the closeness of the girl to the edge of the frame top left was not deliberate and she would have been further inside by choice at the time of taking the shot. However luck sometimes comes in to play and in processing I quite liked this aspect as it does add tension as Marko suggests, especially as the girl and her mother are looking away and moving out of the photo
