Rather nice, but I'll bet it would have been stronger with the near face the point of focus, difficult to do if you were street shooting at hyper focus.  I wonder if a stronger cropped version is here, removing all but the back half of the head of the woman in the foreground.

Thanks Stuart, do you mean like this?

I do like the original but I'm not sure what to say about it from a critical point of view, in that the normal conventions for subject vs. background focus are reversed, the subject of the image is out of focus whereas the background characters and scenery are sharp, which something that I find quite interesting as well as challenging - it would make for an interesting print, which would be a subject of conversation if exhibited.
