What problem? I see skinny girls standing around but no problem. BTW: The photo appears too contrasty, and it has distractions in it.

Looks like she's getting a parking ticket - good shot, love her expression!

Speculation. The girls appear like spectators to a minor drama, if anything.
Framing the image to include only the girls by a storefront would have have produced far more interest, on the principle of simplicity.

You pretty much have to look twice to see the police officer writing out the ticket but removing her from the shot would also remove important context.

I agree. All the elements seen conspire to make the stage vignette work. There are a few subsets that could be on their own, but the entire view gives the fuller context.
It doesn't even need the scrim work were it on a stage.
One subset ,for example, would be the manikin, the girl in sneakers with broom, the girl inside the store. What a way to present the synopsis to a Cinderella story.

But then the story is gone and the whole point is lost.

The problem appears with the law-enforcement official on the far right and the worried look on the right-side girl's face. The contrast is a matter of preference, and I tend toward the contrasty side. Regarding distractions, yes, I see a couple crops across the top and left side that would better emphasize the primary subjects. And thanks for the comments--they're always appreciated.

Thanks, Sue. That was my impression.

The girls have contrasting expressions, and I think the officer is needed to explain that. And with the officer present, the eye contact provides an obvious answer.

The emblem of the tiara in the center is crucial for the Cinderella story. Also the idea of the Posh Shoe Bar for the glass slippers. "Style in the Loop" adds to the story.
The license plate on the Fiat 500 (sub for pumpkin/carriage?) dovetails into the story with the number starting with "P60". (Wont say anything on the name around the plate.)
The whole scene adds up to a stage script. Especially with the presence of the member of the constabulary following the orders of the prince for the search.
A thought. The person in the doorway as the Blue Fairy godmother?
