Something surreal about this one. The decisive moment indeed! I wouldn't worry about the kid not being perfectly sharp (I don't worry about sharpness at all!). In this case it makes it clear that he's moving - and that's a good thing. The disinterested spectator on the left, and the fellow on the right watching yet still bored, both add to the surreality (is that a word) of this one. It's like "same old, same old, this is just day-to-day life on Beale Street. Ho hum..." I keep thinking HCB - and I'd love to see it in B&W!
