Response to Street photos of skaters, how could I have done this better?

Perhaps you need to ask yourself: "What is my subject?" I see two subjects here: (1) a large public building and (2) some skaters. If your intended subject was the skaters (and I assume this was the case), you should try to get in REAL close and photograph the skaters, using some of the building to provide background. The great photojournalist Robert Capa said that if your photos aren't good enough you are not close enough (or something like that). Getting in close for candid city images isn't easy, but its what you need to learn to do to make this kind of subject matter work.
