Great picture, although the ubiquity of cell phone usage is sad.

I probably would have cut out the person on the left – and the photo would have been so much poorer for it.

Glad you like it, Elke. I waited for ages to get people walking through. This wasn’t quite what I had intended initially, but I have been trying to add in this kind of extra layer to make my street photos deeper. I like yours – the opposite to mine with its moody emptiness

Thanks Brian. Took a while to capture as people are always polite when you don’t want them to be, and walk out of my way.
