This is not a setup shot I was crossing the street when this scene opened up before me. the two subjects( the pretty girl and the sailors ) should be interested in each other but are not.

Great picture -- I just wish the focus wasn't so soft. There are a number of other minor elements that don't exactly help the photo, but since it's a grab shot -- I'm guessing while people waited to cross the street -- there's not a lot you can do about them (like a shallower depth of field to throw the far background completely out of focus). Love the black of her clothes vs. the white of their uniforms. Just a fun picture.
I love how everyone is looking in different directions, except for the girl, who seems to be looking at you. Her black is also a nice contrast on their white uniforms. It seems a bit fuzzy to me, though.
Such a moment! Of course, the contrast in outfits, gender, race, pose, size, everything, is really striking. Focus could be sharper. Good framing. This is the kind of thing one sees a lot in the city-the convergence of differences, tightly packed.
I quite like this shot. It's too bad the image is out of focus though. Also, this is a photo which would have greatly benefited had the 'rule of thirds' been followed (ie. Your subject, the girl, should be placed either more towards the left or right, instead of dead centre).
