I completely agree with Phil. The way you creatively focused and cropped this image allows the viewer to creatively interpret it.

I love the degree of abstraction in this one -- the homeless man is soft, and thereby implied rather than laboriously described. The woman with the camera is photographically defined by the edge of the frame, becoming an abstraction in herself. Her subject is even more abstract -- only a limp hand extends into the frame on the opposite side. In between are the implements of a comfortable life -- catsup, condiments, napkins, and menus. The homeless man is utterly ignored. There is a lot going here, but you have greatly simplified the image through your framing and focusing, leaving room for the imagination of the viewer to become the fourth party in this photograph.
