Well I think this shot is very good (erm well I took it  ) as I've always wondered what my grand-daughter was thinking when she didn't properly understand what the other persons were saying.
Well in the real world what do you think? Well other than the nearest arm looks out of proportion.

Excal, when you post it here, we will be the judge if it is good or not. 
Yes, it is very good, love the lighting, how it caught mom(?) grand-daughter's intense gaze,
excellent group catch, well done! (you got lucky j/k) |

Hmm, well
We already agreed on the expression! Great!
I think the light is a bit hard and suites probably better as B/W IMHO
Others may see it differently

I was feeling a bit arty when I looked at it, so here goes:
Geometric composition - a triangle of interest is formed by the grand-daughter's eye, the "shadow of communication" between the other two heads, and the hand, which is telling the viewer not to interrupt. The eye and the shadow, which is where the eye is looking to, are both in the "thirds" positions. Whether intentional or by accident, this composition make the picture quite compelling.
Capturing the moment - the grand-daughter's expression gives rise to the question you asked yourself, "What is she thinking?"
When I first glanced at the picture, I nearly dismissed it, but looking closer and considering what was going on made me think of certain old paintings by the Masters filled with hidden back-stories.
If nothing else, you made my brain work today  |

Thanks....interesting point about the hand which "closes" the triangle....but have to admit it was accidental
