I don't know... I'd leave it in and crop the picture at the top, just above where the grass edge ends, putting a space above the boy's head of approximately the height of his forehead and hair. The darkness there serves as a stop, leaving the sidewalk to lead the eyes back to the boy. I would suggest that you get the picture under developed or work it on your computer to lighten the shadows on the face so to see what is happening there. Depending how you would handle it, I think that it would make a good painting.
