I like this a lot! I love the composition, the boy looks small (which he no doubt is, but in that large doorway, with the big steps he's sitting on, he looks even smaller). Love the MAC sign - lets us know we're in maybe an upscale touristy shopping area. The lampost adds nice balance to the frame. As you know, I'm not much for cropping myself, but I might get rid of the 1/4 figure on the far right of the frame (is it a person - I don't know, but it's a distraction). Other than that, I'd say it's about perfect. Nice exposure and greytones as well. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
