This photo is simply a view from the steps of the new TKTS booth in Times Square looking south with a longish lens. As chaotic as this photo looks (I was thinking of inserting a game of Where's Waldo in here), there is a certain order to the way things are laid out.
Certainly on the street level, it is not nearly as crowded as this looks. But, it was evening rush hour and a bit busy. I do notice that it is primarily cabs heading through Times Square at this hour. In another shot, there were a few trucks, and buses. But, here I informally counted 17 cabs in this shot. The yellow path of cabs kind of adds a nice separation between the groups of people.
I spent a good amount of time watching the zipper sign move by and would try and freeze certain words that might be symbolic or important. I got a few shots with the words "information", "heist", "trusted", "general" featured. But, in this case, we have "News" centering (which seems rather appropriate).
There is one person who I would consider a focal point within the shot, the guy in the blue sweater in the front is probably best posed. His name is Waldo perhaps.
