You did a good job of keeping yourself out of the reflection in the windows.

I'm undecided whether I like the reflections. On one hand, the scene reflected in the glass is distracting. It draws attention away from the child which is supposed to be the main subject of this photo. So I'm thinking a polarized filter would have reduced or eliminated the reflections.

On the other hand, the reflection shows us what the child is looking at and emphasizes that she's scouring the neighborhood for her daddy.

I guess I'd have to see the two photos side by side to decide what I liked better. Regardless, it's a good photo that tells a story.
