Chris,
I enjoy your street photos a lot. The soft focus alone isn't necessarily a bad thing (though it probably cost you some votes on this uber-sharp-focused forum), but the blown highlights on the shoe and behind the garbage can distract me from this man's face. I hope you'll keep getting out there and shooting - I too enjoy street photography and appreciate just how difficult it is!
I think I would have leveled the background and let the subject be leaning slightly forward. If it was just the trash can, it'd work, but the buildings don't look normal.
Contast is OK, but focus is a bit soft. The shoes are too overexposed.
I like the shot alot, and you captured a great moment. It could be that the tilt is artistic expression? It bugs me when the shoe is cut out. Overall, good job.
