This is an engaging photo portrait. Easy to overlook in such a challenge - but it has a lot to offer a patient viewer. 8.

Should've kept the colors... And why "untitle"? A typo takes away from the picture. The focus could've been better.

The crop and subject are great. I love that you've thrown away the rules and just made a great shot. A tas sharper and a little more focus on the man would've earned the extra couple of points from me. However, 8. Great shot!

See this is a good shot Charlie!! Congrats..
The voters nailed you because it isnt a portrait, but u know that now :))
But low votes do not neccesarily mean a shot is bad...I like it..a little edit and it would be great!

Typically I love street scenes.. but for portraits I look for more detail in the person who is the focus of the composition.. even if the fiddle were more detailed.. great idea though.. I do love environmental portraits.

I feel the fiddler is a little lost with so many other people and the busy background - if he had been looking towards the camera it might have helped. Perhaps the shot here is from knee level where the group of people are on the left - looking up at the fiddler to catch his face with the case and money in the foreground?

An angle that showed the fiddle more clearly would have worked better for me. I like how it shows all the people going by and no one paying attention.

Comment by dwterry:
Man, it just doesn't fit my definition of a "portrait". Too far away, too many other distracting things to look at. If you didn't mention fiddler, I would have suspect I was suppose to look at the closest guy (the one on the right walking away). I would never have even noticed the fiddler (or figured out that he had an instrument in his hands).

maybe 30 feet closer?

from this far away I wouldn't really even know what you took a photo of if it wasn't for the title. Go talk to him, don't be scared! :-)
