I wanted to have the sleeping man included in a street scene but was having difficulty getting a composition I liked. The picture also lacked other interesting subjects in the frame. I only had a moment to catch this shot but later I realized I liked the boy's purposeful stance, his deadpan expression, the contrast between his smooth young skin and the hard skin of the sleeping man's feet, the contrast between the boy's new and well pressed clothes and the sleeping man's blanket, and that the boy seems oblivious to the sleeping man.
Sometimes it pays to sit and wait for something to happen.
