Interesting capture.  It definitely made me look twice.Just a nit-picky suggestion...I know this is a street shot but would you like to consider eliminating the box and its reflection as they are both a bit distracting, especially on the right?

Very good capture.

About considering, I would have wished the box on top not being there, but cropping isn't a real solution. Next the left side got a try, that didn't satisfy for all the three figures would 'grow' to much. The way the 'problem' on the right is hanging is OK and cropping is impossible. So, I crop sometimes a bit of the sides, but allways try to avoid that. A problematic background is for me simply a reason in not shooting at all, for the background is nearly as important as the (main)subject. That's for every 'chance' the same, and 'street' is by that - for me - just an extra big challenge. For problematic backgrounds are no excuses, simply don't shoot or delete afterward. And cloning? No, that's too easy and not satisfying, I think it lying. Only in very rare cases I would say 'yes'. And considering thát? It's easy, I simply don't post-process. :) Do have a good weekend..!

thanks mate..! However I do like 'Lawrence of Arabia' as much. :) Yes, it's all a matter of chances cq confrontations at thóse specific moments, we know.

A very nice original result, Olaf!
