Appreciate your comments. Street photography rarely provides a perfect situation since one has little or no control, and everything changes in milliseconds. That is why it is an incredible challenge but so satisfying when it all comes together. Eric Kim, a master street photographer, says he gets one decent shot a month, one shot a year that he is proud of.
There are certainly deficits in this image, things that I'd love to have changed if I could, some of which you've pointed out. On the other hand, there are things that I love here, for instance the geometry of the image, very much a gritty cityscape, the graffiti in the background, the incredible irony of capturing the man carrying the "cooler" case. So ultimately, I recognize the weaknesses and exalt in what I feel are the strengths, and go out every day or as much as I can "hunting" for the perfect street photo.

Did you catch the "cool" on the wall and the "cooler" in his hand before you took it? Or was this just serendipity? No matter, that sort of congruence in images is probably found in most styles. If I get a crown of clouds that mirror the mountain peak, its mostly good fortune, but at least I have more time to discover the fact before I snap the shutter.
Your timing in such things shows me that it's more than just good luck.
