Hi Richard,
My immediate re-action was.... "it's way too loose and you almost lose her 
with the clutter of other kids around her. Your 90mm lens was probably 110 
mm short and a 200mm would've made a better take.

Either a longer lens, my first choice, or crop her tighter. However if you 
wanted all the clutter and illustrating all the kids around her that's a 
different thing. But your caption read. >>"The concentration of a young 
musician <<<<<<<<<<<

When you lift her out of the mess then you feel her concentration rather 
than having her overwhelmed with the busy back ground, the girl to her left 
the music stand in foreground.

After all she's the centre of attention yet you have all that other visual 
junk surrounding her.

In my humblest opinion.
