Nice capture Lew. It's a shame for that motion blur or OOF regarding the foreground guy. I wonder if you wouldn't be better off cropping him out. For me, 'ol fuzzy face is kind'a distracting.

I agree that the foreground guy being OOF is a bit distracting. However, if you cropped him out, you'd also lose most of the telephone sign--all of it, really, because you'd also likely to have to crop out the kid who is just peeking out from the foreground guy--he'd look oddly split in half without the first guy there. THEN the picture pretty much becomes all about the woman at the back, and while she's interesting, to me, she's not interesting enough to make the photo all that compelling just based on her--it NEEDS that "market" look you get from seeing all the things in the background.

I dunno--this one is a near miss for me, personally.

On top of that the children would be cropped with half bodies and to go further you would crop the ladies arm out making it look weird IMO..Unless you have miracle editing software, I dont see how you could crop as everyone is to close to one another.Actually the little girl looking away from the shot,make's me wonder what was so interesting out in the streets or was she just photo shy.

Yeah, you and Sharon are right, and on the left is the large OOF bag. There really isn't a good crop option here.

I think I'd crop to a tight shot of the lovely lady in the center.
