this is very good portrayal/ steet photo.

It reminds me of Robert Doisneau.

Hi Tom, this is an interesting photo indeed, and as Boris above said, it has a Doisneau-esque tone in it.  In fact, it brought me back to a line of thought I often have about street photography when looking mainly at the work of the great french"humanistes" such as Doisneau or Cartier-Bresson: namely, many of their images have no "exceptional" things or people in them, no weird angles, pushed focals (which they anyway did not have access to for technological reasons), strongly contrasted B&W treatments... what they have is a particularly successful, synthetic documentary nature, where the normal of their time is recorded, in a non-trivial way. This makes them very effective when looked at fifty years later, because the time they come from shines through and fascinates us for both its expected difference, and its unexpected resemblance to our own.

Pardon me for being so long-winded, but what I see and like here is that same virtue of showing the normal with respect and synthesis. Well done!

Perfect composition!
