I wondered if this one were yours when I viewed it! To be honest though, there were several- 4 or 5 maybe- that I thought might be.
I was one of your 81 fives. Issues were primarily composition, as well as some softness.
As for your composition, while I do think that this does a pretty good job of communicating the circumstances (ie it "tells a story" as so many like to say), I think that it suffers primarily from being too far away (a tighter crop would elimnate so much of the brick wall at the subjects' left and also the alleyway beyond the intersection), and also from your pov: no faces, only their backs. I noticed so many shots from behind, and I totally understand why, but I think the best STREET PHOTOGRAPHY shots included faces.
this isn't as interesting to me as someone coming from the other direction, peering around the corner, afraid for his life to continue. perhaps you were waiting for the better pic, but it didn't come?
