Thanks Bill. I think it may depend on the brightness of the screen. To me yours looks a little too dark. |

I also agree with Carol's comments and the distortion caused by the camera angle is mildly distracting to me. Because it's a function of the lens, I don't have a problem trying to fix it. I played around with the Transform tool in the Camera Raw filter and came up with the attached. I'm not sure it's any better but it is different. |

I love the face and his wide eyed look. To me it's very dramatic. The B&W work is very pleasing to me. Exposure and focus look spot on to me.
In the color version the glove on his hand is transparent and his fingers are visible but in B&W version the glove looks to me to create a massive very bright hand which draws my eye directly to it. It's a distraction to me but I can't visualize how to fix it.

I like the story you're trying to tell and I like the mystery of not knowing what's up there.
I agree with you that you want to know what's going on around the subject. On the other hand you need to be aware of your background and make a conscious decision about what adds to, does nothing for or detracts from the story. To me the bus can go any of those ways. I generally do not clone objects out of my street photos but I do crop them out if they're a distraction. You don't have to be a slave to the lens' view. At first glance my eye is drawn to bright left top corner, which to me is a big distraction. I think if you cropped it down, you might have a more pleasing photo.
As far as point of view, I think perhaps getting down lower and shooting upwards in line with the subjects might make a better perspective.

At first glance I'm drawn into the photo by the leading lines created by the cobblestones and then I'm mesmerized by the person walking along. The blue umbrella contrasts nicely against the muted colors of the street and building. The building on the left acts like a frame within a frame for me and the light path draws my eyes to subject. I think the focus and exposure are both spot on. |
