Relax and "Try Chai" or Make a Call?

I took this photograph during a summer rain shower while standing in front of Saint Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. My primary purpose in taking the shot was to capture the gentleman resting against the cannon using his cell phone. I felt that the man, cannon and contrast between black and white would create a dynamic image.

After waiting a moment to see if the "Try Chai" man would move from the background, I took the picture. When looking at the picture to determine the best crop before printing, I noticed that everyone except the "Try Chai" man was busy on the cell phone.
