this looks too staged. What is he looking at? He doesn't have a drink yet, either, and it actually took me a moment to pick out the shape of the black bottle advertisement to figure out where he was in the first place.
I really like this image. First off, it fits the challenge well IMO. To some it may appear to be on the verge of being too 'busy', but I think in your pov, it makes it work for me. It's interesting that, with all that's going on, and the lack of symmetry so to speak, the photo still has a very balanced 'feel' to me, perhaps it's the reflections, and the centered vanishing point, along with the way you've framed it, with the man and the opposite licquor shelves both cut off. The expression on the man is perfect, is this posed or a candid? Either way, very nice, even without your title, I see the story clearly, and am drawn into the image. Great job.
the lines are leading, but the overall picture has a "snapshotty" feel to it.
Maybe just changing the image to black and white may have helped (and it may not!!!)
Or just waiting until there were no people around?
