composition - How to compose such that the context does not overpower the subject?

Intention was to shoot a kid from a upper class family playing with bricks and sand in a not so clean area.

I have purposely not blurred the background. I think adding context is important in this case. However, I feel that the context overpowering the subject. Subject seems to be lost in bricks.

How to compose such that the context does not overpower the subject?

Answer

Get closer to your subject. Let's see what she's doing, what she's wearing, how she's responding. That should be the first thing we notice without having to go looking for it (if that's indeed your intention).

As it is, she's kind of a secondary or incidental element in an urban landscape. The background is full of content and context, which affords you the luxury of getting closer without losing its impact. A little blur won't hurt either -- enough to provide separation but not so much as to obscure the environment.
