When I first looked at this I thought it was amusing. Then, as I looked at it more closely, I began to find it disturbing. And intriguing. What is the man on the left carrying? A child with large feet? Why does the women in the background look fearful with her hand on the wall? Did she spot the photographer while closing a locker? She looks as though she is bracing herself against something - all the men approaching her? And what is the woman in the foreground doing with that object in her right hand? Her pose as caught by the camera looks almost robotic. Is she real? Very strange and interesting photo.

While I didn't see anything disturbing in this image, I too found it very interesting.
I believe the gentleman on the left is holding a pair of shoes in his left hand, and a coat with the right hand, but it does almost appear as though he carries another person.
The girls appear to be unassociated, but caught in similar motion, and yes, those guys are looking. (Men are such horny toads, excepting for me, of course.)
The girl further away does seem to have caught the eye of the guy closest to her. (Women are such ..., well ..., OK, I haven't figured that out yet!)

hi . i think the wind is it. just the wind. good shot. kudos.rick
yes, it appears it is the wind blowing his jacket open...but on first glance, it appeared he was carrying someone....love this shot!!! So much going on but it works!
He is just caring his jacket and strangly enough his shoes. It is just one of these situations you can pin a story or two onto with ease as the drama creates itself just by their positioning and obviously the looks.
