Welcome, gudlagoba! Suggested by your title, I see here that one pair of people is taking up almost the entire pathway, leaving very little space for the older couple.

Hello Doug and thank you.

Right, that was the thought about space being taken up. I am new to taking street-type photos so feedback will be much appreciated. I need to muster up enough courage to come close and take the shot. I am trying to be as discreet as possible by pre-focusing and lifting the camera up only to take the shot but I always tend to linger on during the framing part.

The framing might seem at first to be on the loose side, but it includes useful "space". I think you chose well to take the shot when you did, just the right moment!

Thanks! I felt exactly the same way when I first scanned in the negative. I had forgotten why I framed it with more space on the left.
