According to the rules of composition, you should always leave space for a moving subject to move into. Here I did the opposite. The open space appears behind the subject. I think breaking the rules here gives the shot more of a street photography feel. When we walk down the street we don't anticipate others' moves. Instead, when we see someone interesting pass, we turn our heads to get a better look. That was exactly how this shot was taken... Just trying to keep up with the energy of the streets!
