Not being a city lover, I find little to like in this image. My first impression is that nothing is in focus. But I also, then, ask the question if sharp focus is necessary or even desired here. That leaves me with the impression that even when one is standing still, the world and everything in it is whirling at tremendous speed. There is lots of tension here with nowhere to rest.
I think you're getting to the heart of it ... the stationary people, the observers, backs to the camera, watching the machines of the city rush by. I believe that's a large part of where Haas was going with this image.
