Hopefully he is scrutinizing the shine on those shoes. -Doug

This is really good. I've forgotten what the other version was like but this is wonderful. -dtallakson

For me this version works better. Again - very well captured moment.

I like this crop better Tom. To me, it would have been nice if the lady in the background drinking coffee was not there but with street shots, you get what you get! Good one! CJ

Many stories are being told here. Great light, too.

This is a lot better Tommy the face isn't needed now as it all pulls together nicely. Even wivout the original to compare with this just sits right with the eye. Well done mate.

Thanks for the comments. I think the crop is the problem. Here's one less tight. PS. Rod you'll have to use your imagination which will be better than the original. -tv

What I think, for the candid not the photo-technic but the story behind is vital. Framing, yes, I also think it is a bit too far to the right but if you cut - you loose the railways and the whole scene is then also lost, I think. Intimacy - hmmm, not sure. The man right does not make impression of somebody who can grab the lady’s bag but his glance is interesting.
Altogether - an interesting shot with excellent light.

Now this is what I mean by "intimate", I'm there I can hear the conversation, I'm ready to warn the woman if the man makes a grab for her bag. I disagree with Rod, seeing the woman's face would be a distraction, the left of the picture is there to set the scene the narrative is happening on the right.

Nice light but I wish we could see the more of the face on lady in the very hot red coat. The framing looks too far to the right for the people to work especially without the face of the lady in the very hot red coat:-)
