What strikes me most about this painting is the very realistic and convincing way the statue in the fountain is depicted. There you have a wider range of values, with nice darks and lights and an excellent sense of form and volume. You may have felt freer to experiment with this element of the painting because it wasn't as "important" as the child, but it's a nice job. Treating the child's face and arms the same way could have made it a stronger painting.
