BTW Frank: In your reply to Unca Mikey on Photo.net you mention that you
don't like the fact that the scooter's wheels are partially cut off. I
disagree entirely. One of the first things I thought about when I saw
this shot (and before I read your comment) was that it wouldn't work
nearly as well if you'd fit the scooter's wheels in completely. I think
it would just look a bit too... "contrived" isn't the word, but perhaps
too "complete" is getting at what I feel. Even though the scooter rider
is moving across the frame, the clipping of the wheels makes her also
riding *out* of the frame. Just right.
The guy crossing the screen on the right is a crucial element, too. 
This shot has exactly the right amount of imperfection to be a perfect
shot. (If you know what I mean <g>)
