I love that fact that the lady (during the Queen's Jubilee precession) was sporting her wonderful lush tiara and absolutely nobody (except some photographer) had noticed the guy cowering in the doorway begging for food.
I like the contrast in life, same street, same time, totally different

This requires a longer look to absorb the scene. In some ways, I wonder if the composition (or framing) would have given this an entirely different feel/message if adjusted to include more of the crowd. I do wonder what sort of event this is. Are they lined up, or just passing by. Your choice to center the despondent looking guy amongst a crowd that appears not to care fits the message in your title, but there is the lady behind the tiera lady that seems to be giving the guy a hard look... A photo to ponder. Will be interesting to see where this lands in a free study. Also will be interested to read your notes on the context of the photo.
