John, the lady in the center is (IMO) quite lovely.
The gray haired OOF head is somewhat distracting.

Hi Richard,

Yes, also the position of the OOF head made cropping so difficult, I may try a clone. Thanks for the comments.

Is that the obligatory phone in the hand about to take a 'selfie'?

I reckon you were spotted by the one at the rear

John,

One quick look at your photo and I felt in love with the lady in the centre. Now I finally know what street photography is all about. Thanks

Yes that is the typical " selfie" pose. She did spot me, but only smiled. Thanks for commenting.

I am with the fan of the beautiful lady, John...you nailed her shot there nicely...and not too harsh either...

I agree with Richard, John. She is stunning and if you were to crop out the head on the LHS, you not only lose the distraction of the grey hair but (for me) you would improve the strength of the comp. It would focus attention even more on the subject given that the remaining head on the left is anonymous and the lady on the right is looking into the comp. I would pull back the highlight on the telescope as well though.

John,

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll do an edit later today.

John, just had a closer look at it but I won't post the result. However, before you crop it, use the LHS as a source to clone out the face behind the girl, then lift the shadows in the girl's face slightly and add a bit of sharpening. It really is a very nice image and worth a bit of PP.

Very nice image John. I agree with John2 about cropping the image for a stronger and less distracting composition
