Similar to my Bread Street photo in that it's about unposed figure placement that kind of looks choreographed but isn't. I also like the stillness that gives it a slightly surreal feel. Your mileage may vary of course as these shots aren't to everyone's taste! :)

Nicely done :)
Thanks Ben. (y)
You were spotted :)
I was indeed! :D
I like this but I am not sure what I am looking at.
Why are there shadows cast by two people but not by the guy in red or the t warden?
There's nothing specific happening, the photo is really just about layering people in front, middle and back to hopefully create something that makes the eye have different things to look at around the frame. It shows how patterns and rhythms are in our every day street life but we often don't see them whereas the camera can capture those. Regarding the shadows, the sunrays are mostly along a narrow strip of the pavement and the shadows on the far left seem to be from a couple of people outside of the frame and in line with the sunrays. Most everyone else are not standing in that strip of sunlight. I used flash which might have affected some of the shadows as well. I had to dial down the flash glare on the traffic warden's coat reflectors.

I did wonder about flash as the guy in red looks differently lit to the others
