I really like this one. ...too distracted with her phone to flick the ashes of her cig. This photo needs no caption; it tells a story. Black and white works really well. Maybe crop a bit off the right-hand side?

Yeah, I probably should turn it into a square format. I was trying to get the junk shop into the picture too because I thought it fit the situation. But I was shooting with a prime 50 and there just wasn't enough coverage. By the time I realized that, it was too late. I had to shoot or lose the whole thing. Such are the vagaries of street. It's not a contemplative process.

No, No!!!
Don't crop!
The stuff at the right is needed to give just enough context for the scene.

Russ, you should be ashamed of even thinking about cropping!    ;)

Okay, Eric. You're right. Mea culpa. It's terrible to have moments like that!
