Interesting scenario, but not a particularly pleasing composition. To 
me, the half-chopped people in the background at left are a 
distraction, as is the crop on the head of the principal figure. Not 
among your best  in my opinion.

I like it.  I like the curve of the line of kids on the bottom and the
curve of the sidewalk curb (or do they spell it kerb in England?).

A little bit of motion blur on the fellow's hands really adds to
what's going on;  makes it a very dynamic photo.

I like that he's a bit cut off, as that seems to focus my attention on
the kids sitting down, and makes me notice how rapt they seem,
watching the man.  BTW, is he some sort of an instructor (it almost
seems like this might be a school field trip or something), or are
they watching a street performer of some sort?

Wonderful photo.

cheers,
frank

He was a mime doing a street performance. There was a large crowd  
gathered, it was entertaining to find ways to make photographs that  
weren't just bustling people bumping into each other. :-)
