I think we have seen this area before but it is still is an interesting spot. In this shot it looks as though the three life like "cylinders" are getting impatient with the humans below but it also works the other way round. Who's going to make the first real move.? The spots of light on the paving is good as are the heels.
I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
I also recognise this from another one of your posts from some time ago Yoyo, I think it works well and love the motion that you have captured in this scene.
I liked the originals of these that you posted and this is in the same league. An impatient lady who's got fed up with waiting and chargin off to who knows where and the man silently and passively waiting for his train.
Nice composition.

I see this composition as three nearly equal parts, the paving stones, the building and the black sky. I'm thinking you have a interesting foreground with the figures and movement, the buildings are nicely lit and colored but the sky doesn't add much but a space holder.
If there were a lot more black sky that would work by reducing the impact of the other elements and giving more isolation to the feel of the people. If there were a lot less sky it would increase the impact of the other 2 elements.
In other words I'm thinking you have the wrong amount of black sky here. Changing it either way could yield a better image (or not).
Yoyo - To me it's all about the lady there. Unfortunately the fellow just adds clutter, and since he is so sharp sort of takes away some attention that I think he shouldn't. I hope you don't mind, I tried an crop, but am not sure if works as well as the original perspective. Try cloning that guy outta there and see what it does!
