I found myself trying to figure out what the words say, which completely distracted my attention from the man and the scene as a whole. What did catch my attention after that was the man and the way the poster of the two people made it look like they were peeking out a window at the man. I think if you could do a major crop to remove the words OR a slight crop to remove the poster, you would end up with a much stronger image. You could actually get two images from this one. All-in-all, nice capture. The color, light and shadows are very well captured and it feels real and draws me into the photo.

Great colours and shadows..

Personally I think that the poster with the woman's face peeking between the pillars adds a whole new dimension to this shot. I also really like that text detail on the shuttering.

Im not sure about crops but with a little photoshop work I can see about 4 or 5 images coming from this.

Okay. I like the composition on this one I think all the area arround the man gives some feeling to the photograph. I like the light falling on the shutter also. Also the intersection of the columns and steps draw my attention to the subject.

Personally I wouldn't crop it.
