Hi Ankur.. glad to see someone from my own roots. I am new to photography as well...

1) The first thing that strikes me is the angles. Were you able to get any more angles?

2) Also use photoshop to level colors or something simpler like Picasa to Auto Contrast

3) The inbuilt flash doesnt help at high shutter speed. search for 'dragging the shutter' or better yet no flash at all. Try switching on a few lights in room/area to add cool shadows.

4) there is a lot of confusion, the banner above, the offerings, the little tin can etc.. try setting such that those things are less visible like behind the child or if you can remove them all togehter.

well those were my 50 cents. Hope it helps. Thought more experience members can advice more

WELCOME to DPSI don't know why some posts get lost and no one really responds. I apologize for the delay.
I agree in a lot of respects to the post above, although I must say I really like the photo of the child. Nice shot. Keep posting
