It's an interesting shot for me in the fact that people are so close physically but they are all in their own separate worlds.
In terms of critique - Shot is quite blue to my eye in the foreground.

Def a blue cast, but I like it for what it is. A well done street scene, and a different one as Marko pointed out, with several people in such close proximity, yet emotionally, so far detached.

Marko & HBG, thanks for your comments.
I just reduced the blue channel. Here is a new version. Hopefully the blue cast does not interfere with the idea now.

still quite blue to me enrique.
If you are using photoshop add a hue/saturation adjustment layer. Then select BLUE, not master. Reduce the saturation on the blue layer big time...you'll see it right away.
Hope that may help
