You've found a beautiful and evocative subject. Your title clearly conveys your interpretation of the scene, perhaps to disadvantage...it might have equally been called "waiting for the other to leave" Tough subject to capture! Perhaps a tighter crop from the left?
The message conveys "waiting," but the surrounding elements (especially the big banner) are highly distracting. Sound concept. The woman in the shawl conveys waiting really well, perhaps a tight closeup, next time?
clearly waiting -- perhaps for world peace? I understand why you left it without the crop (i.e. to leave in the bus stop sign), but I think it's a better picture asthetically without the the 'under new management sign... nice shot.
