Thanks Kent! On my Olympus Pen F, the rear screen is the kind that swings out, so I'm composing as best I can looking at the extended rear screen as I'm walking. My focus is center point. If you asked me if I saw this as I shot it, no way. I was kind of experimenting with shooting while crossing in a crowded cross walk, taking a number of shots. Viewing my results later on, this was the only one that made sense to me. Accident or serendipity, unknowable.
Things happen so fast on the street that serendipity does play a role. More often than not, you end up with photos to delete. In this case, I liked the claustrophobic feel that I ended up with, plus the lady with the defensive arm posture in good focus.
