He has great reaction to the action alright. :-)

But it can be improved by cropping some of the throw away space on the right
hand side! It's absolutely throw away space!  Crop cutting the car in half
and it increases the impact of the face and action. Everything is right
there in the face and swinging arm, so the other side of the street on the
right means nothing, so it goes.

Then you have right in your face facial effect with no opportunity for your
eyes to wander away from the imact! :-)
