Not _quite_ high noon, but near enough! It was a very sunny day and I
chose to photograph subjects with quite a bit of contrast.

You got the reasoning behind the third alternative perfectly. I did toy
with the idea of cropping the top to make it more of a panoramic shot
and emphasise the separation, physical and social, between the two
people  but I liked the architecture too much :-)

Steve,
    I like the framing and choice of scene in the main.  There's nice
depth in the shot from the painters as well.  The light is a little
harsh on the painter in the foreground.  High noon?
    I like the first alternate as well.  Again, the light looks a little
tough, but this is a nice shot with all of these figures.  You get nice
detail in their outfits, and capture them in a moment which makes for
good composition.
    Alternate three fooled me for a minute.  I thought it was a pretty
ordinary architecture shot, and Iwas wondering why you included it.
Then I caught the two human figures, their different positions, and it
tells the story about where we put our money.  Very interesting.
