Michael,
Allow me to say that this photo works, for me, much better than your others, and, as a street photographer, I have learned a lot by looking at it. You are a very skillful and hardworking photographer. But in this one shot, you have surrendered to the subject, which can be hard for a skillful photographer to do. You seem to have gotten down low enough to have some intimacy with the group. The background, often so annoying in candids, works to frame the group without looking artificial in the least. The composition is relaxed, but engaging, and very dynamic. The cropping brings the viewer right into the circle. Thanks for sharing this.
