Return to street photography for my shot n. 7. This time I was really close!

No! To the right was just as shoot. I have some others with more space on the right, but in none of them he gives that look.Any chance that you may have just a couple inches of crop on the right?
The problem isn't the lack of space on the right but rather a little too much space on the left.Nice shot. Any chance that you may have just a couple inches of crop on the right?
But if I do that he won't transmit so much lonelyness as with all that space.you will have a much better balanced image.
Didereaux, I am somewhat baffled as to where this non-look at the camera rule comes from. I am quite sure Jay Maisel would disagree with you as would Russ Lewis, Ana Delaney, Yanidel, Matt Hoyle, Lee Jeffries and the works of the recently rediscovered images of Vivian Maier. An awareness of the subject to the camera is totally acceptable street work. Even HSB had many subjects who looked directly into the camera.
We could poo-pah all day on the semantics, but you did say "It's certainly not a rule, but it is generally acknowledged that in good street photography the main subject NEVER looks at the camera" and I took never as pretty much an absolute on your part. In no place in my response did I do a total condemnation, only merely pointed out there are a great number of contemporary and historical street photographers who are not bothered by their subjects looking into the camera.
