Ken, thanks for your thoughful comments. While the color spots do, I think, give the photo some provocation I've come to agree with you and the others that it's probably a better photograph in simple black and white.

Let us remember walking into some of the great restaurants of the world, and remember the images seen on the walls.
Mostly black and white - they were images such as this one.
The lighting is superb - with the figures almost Lowry-like in their appearance. As an exercise in objective thinking it works - but as a pure black and white image it would, to me anyway, work better.

wow, i missed the color the first time through. excellent idea. i think the lady in blue is just enough to upset the balance and make the photo alot more interesting. alone, it is a great shot, but the color adds so much more. i don't know about the guy in red, since it is so small here. i bet an 11x14 is awesome. good eye and good job.

Great composition and I love the color. I bet this looks great at 11x17.

Carl-
The two spotches of color definately made me look deeper into the image. The second one was not quite so evident, due to the size of the image. I bet at 11X17 there is a world of difference as you say.

Well, actually, there are two bits of color. The woman in the foreground being pulled through the rain around the corner toward a man in a red jacket about halfway down the block. The intent was to establish a hook on which the viewer could hang some questions, or threads for dialogue. I think the photo works better at 11X17 than at 3X4. Thanks for your feedback.

I personally find the colour spot very distracting; it makes it hard for me too look at what appears to be otherwise a pretty decent shot. What's the motive for colourising that one spot?
