The first second upon viewing this I thought perhaps there's too much foreground (I have much to learn..), but it quickly became clear how important that is for the composition - the heavy blacks in the upper part is perfectly balanced by the lighter foreground. Excellent timing, good planning and some good luck...

A great street photo!
Fabio Giannelli  ...other people suggested me to crop it tightly, and I must admit I thought about it at first, but somehow the cropped version seemed to me sort of unbalanced and you explained exactly why.
Thank you very much Tommy!
