Put yourself in their position: you are coming to the top of an escalator when you notice a complete stranger taking a photo of you. What thought(s) would cross your mind?

For: "My, what an inquisitive fellow that is taking my photo" select Option A
For: "Drat! That guy's taking my photo - why didn't I put on lipstick this morning"  select Option B
For: "c r e e p y" select Option C
For: all other thought(s) select Option D

I like the framing, but I think you have too much of it.  The multiple frames distract me.  Perhaps a closer crop?

Especially since the subject is mostly a silhouette.

Your suggestion has merit. I think it is one of those situation where either or could work. It already has some cropping so a little reluctant to lose more of the stairs.

I like the framing just as it is.

I do too. The graphics are excellent. I just wish the woman weren't smack in the middle of the frame.
