I think this is one of your finest street shots.  Is is a perfect slice of life shot that captures a moment in time at a certain point in time- one that can be viewed decades from now and recognize the  sly twist of humor and great placing of the elements.  The girls facial expressions, the far girl making perfect eye contact, the hustle and bustle, and the busy background with the word "vintage" in the corner. 

This is pretty cool. 8)

The moment and the photographic treatment are both really nice.  Also, I like that it doesn't have the 'long telephoto' feel.

I would hate to think it had a telephoto look as it was shot with a 50 and then cropped square.  In Barcelona I mostly used a 50mm as pedestrian traffic was very dense.
