Default News Paper reading

A school girl waiting for the bus and mean time reading the newspaper. I added some out of focus foreground to compose this shot. As you can see there is a bottleneck almost at the place where girl stands. What do you think about this.. does it compliments the image or distracts. I appreciate your time and opinion.

Looking at this photograph, to me, it portrays the feeling that the girl is being spied on.

usually I like shooting through things. leaves, trees, windows.. whatever.
here it feels like the "other thing" is the main subject, it just takes too much space in the photo for my taste. I'm looking at the photo and just try to understand what that object is instead of looking at the girl, which was the main subject of your photo.
