Thanks to all for comments -- yes, it IS cropped too tight. I appreciate the confirmation.

I found myself in a photographer's dilemma as I had a great shot of this fellow and his partner waiting for the next customer. At the "eleventh" hour I decided to recrop it because you could identify the partner (I wouldn't want someone to post my shot so I didn't want to post his) I tried the crop and thought it still communicated waiting.

He sure does seem to be waiting :) 4/5 for meeting the challenge, 3/5 for technique and composition. Overall photo is a bit dark; cropping seems a bit close side to side.

This crop feels claustraphobic to me... Interesting subject though.

Too tightly cropped ... IMO... but I like it otherwise.

I think this one may be too tightly cropped.

Maybe some people walking by (ignoring the shoe shine) would have helped this pic

Would have liked a more distorted view of the hands...
