There is something quite satisfying about this picture Brian. Firstly it is a nice shot of the man in the foreground. The slightly washed-out colours and grain are aesthetically pleasing in their own right. But there is something more. For most people this is a street shot as we don't know the people and it is not obvious that they are known to you. Probable yes, but by no means certain. But none of that is enough to make it as interesting as it is. There is not much actually going on (no one is being mugged, threatened or kissed even! Just a bit of social interaction), so it's not that. However, I think it might be the geometry of the composition. The diagonal that runs from the 'main man's' head through the people behind, the ladies bag and into the corner. The way the leg of the guy with the light trousers echoes this and the yellow thing that pulls the eye downwards. And finally you notice Honda. I guess where you work. So now I have started putting what little I know about the photographer into it. I can guess it is colleagues on their way back to work after a lunch celebrating something maybe (birthday). So now I have a story to fit to the image.
