given this situation i think a bit of eye contact would have been nice. Seems a bit of a nothing photo to me as i don't really see it as telling a story. I think with street photography it's important not to get drawn into photographing the back of people so they don't see you (I'm not saying thats necessarily what you did).
In terms of processing, the black and white gives it nice contrast but i think the vignette is a bit too heavy.
oh blah blah blah. a "nothing" photo, huh? i think it's a great photo and his explanation of the meaning he saw for it is fantastic. not often does someone give reasoning for their composition or whatever that breaks some of the 'conventional' rules. i give props.
