It is not only the great tones as Jim correctly commented. It is also the lines in the frame and the timing. I think that a croping to 6x7 will make it from a fine photo an excellent photo.
Nice work Dan.

P.S. Place and date, as photo title add a lot to street photography. A Winograd's obsession that proved to be a correct one. Camera and lens do not say something, this is just LI thing, but place and date say a lot. Think about it.
Dan,
your corpus of work, speaks of you and says that you know, that photos are not just happy scenes, clear, sharp and bright. Muted colours and tenebrism, go hand in hand with life and the various expressions of it. The joy of the boy the stoic patience in the gaze of the old women. One smiling the other thinking, probably not of good things. Three persons three stories. Three unknown persons, three unknown stories. Three stories for the viewer to guess. What I just wrote about this picture I believe is absolutely true. It is an excellent picture. It is amazing how much can be told in a fraction of a second. That's the magic of photography.
Take care.

The film is old, the colours are faint and muted, the grain prevails, but the photo is absolutely marvellous!!! All the ingredients mentioned worked altogether, so to make your revisualisation to come true. Excellent.
