Hi from the Critique Club...

My first impressions are that I don't know if you meant the subject to be the man walking towards me or the man walking away. I keep looking from one to the other rather than having my eye settle on one. I think this is the biggest factor in the final score.

As a couple of the commenters noted, there is also very little else going on in the shot. if you look at the high scorers you note the following:
1. the are usually B&W - I don't know why but this seems to enhance candit shots like this
2. the subject tells a story
your shot tells a story but it is very much a short-story (man crosses road) compared to the novel that most people want, where they can engage with the subject.

Good luck in future challenges

Other than the man in the suit being a little interesting, I feel you've capture a crowded crosswalk, but failed to engage your viewer in the shot. It records a moment in time, but I don't feel it does much more than that.

The gentleman in the suit has a very purposeful stride and concerned appearance. He's either deep in thought or something has not gone right for him. I like that comparison against the rest of the folks, who all seem so much more casual.
