Two different styles/approaches in this - the more delicate touches on the left, and the almost 1960s graphic touch on the right, especially in the figures. I think the heads are a bit on the large side, and distract the eye. I suspect the presence of masking fluid in the foreground, ie in the bank, too........ like the spattering in the top half of the painting..... But if you'll forgive me, and I hope you will, I think you've got a little "tight" with this, eg with the rather sharp line on the left where you indicate the bank, and it's my view (which do reject if you like!) that the whole doesn't quite hang together because of the different techniques within it. I detect a touch of the Joe Francis Dowdens - and think your own individual approach works rather better. Sorry if I'm talking complete rubbish, I'm sure I sometimes do....

PS - wouldn't have said any of that if the painting hadn't, overall, struck me as interesting!
