Nicely timed -- those two men walking towards the center of the image are important. I wonder if the image might have been stronger without the taxi, or having a vehicle just coming in from the right (with only a third of the vehicle showing.) It would be a different image with all thel central column showing. Perhaps better, perhaps not.
But since the cab is there, it is nice to have him looking at the camera. "EXCEPTIONALLY EXTENDED" -- what a curious phrase!
