Initially I thought that this picture was shot by shotlandka, she had taken a similar one and uploaded in flickr and a scottish photography website.
I would suggest you if you can to shoot it with a different aspect ratio. I would have chosen 16:9 to include the tall ship moored. Or I would have attempted to shoot with the same lens keeping the edge of the building on the left as the one end and walking backwards to include all of the tall ship. If there was space to walk backwards that is.
The child and the shadow don't affect the picture. A seagull could have affected it positively if it was passing by... Sometimes the photograph is what you can make at that give time you choose to press the shutter. You can revisit the place to try again, so many items to shoot there.
