Frank, I'm not into street photography and most of the time I just enjoy looking at this genre. This picture is fascinating to me. At first I didn't see what he was doing (taking a picture on a P&S through glass?) and what he's looking at. Viewing street photos always reminds me in a strange way of looking at fish in a fishtank (I hope I'm not offending someone with this silly remark), nicely framed and a mystery what they are doing. The glass makes it a perfect street photo! A keeper (no joke). My only suggestion would be that I would clone the beer bottle with a P&S.
