Dispute on the road

During a visit in Havana / Cuba I experienced this scene. A dispute between two men. one man was very irritably and has threatened the other man with a hammer. Fortunately, the argument doesn't escalate because the people on the street have separated those arguing.

The image is based on the following technical data:
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Focal length: 105mm
Aperture: ƒ/7.1
Exposure time: 1/320s
ISO 200
Date taken: February 19, 2011

I processed the photo with Photoshop CS6 and the Nikfilter Viveza 2.

There's a lot going on in the image, so the fighters almost get lost in it. I think if you crop off the van up to the guy in the blue tshirt and the wall up to the woman in the striped tank top, then cut off a little of the top, it'll draw the attention the men a lot easier.

Good capture, regardless; I just think it could be improved with just a simple crop.

Thanks, Ed, for your suggestion on the picture composition.
But I don't know if I can take the picture out of the contest now. Some users have already rated it.
But I will re-post it normally at a later date and try to edit it according to your suggestion first.
Thank you very much, Ed, for your constructive criticism, which I am always open Ear to.
Greeting Herbert
