Nathan,

Nice shoot, it's a great candid picture.  It has
already been mentioned that the out of focus details
are distracting.  Sometimes out of focus highlights
are hard to visualize with a rangefinder before you
comit to film.  I would of just cropped the top and
you would of not lost any part of the atmosphere of
the place. Or burn in the highlights or even smudge
the highlights.

I think the better solution is to move in closer or
just use a Noct to blow those nasty white circles out
of the water.
