 Taken in Covent Garden in London on a very overcast February day. I liked the expressions on the faces of the audience, and the eyes that draw you in towards the juggler. By taking the photo from the back of the performer, you get to capture the reaction of the audience. The image was cropped and the levels adjusted, then converted to grayscale, nothing major.

Thanks for the comments, certainly some useful stuff to think about. I am very new to post-production, which is probably evident and reflected in the comments. Onwards and upwards!

Nice to receive a couple of ones and twos here, confirming at least that there are some jokers about.

this is beautiful but too gray. it needs a lot more contrast, but is a great shot.

Nice capture. The expressions on the crowd, particularly the girl on the left, really make this a nice image.

Nice, nice! Those crazy words "Bik Bok" add a lot to this, and yet I am glad you didn't use that for your title. I think the blur suits this image very well. Happy to see faces, too, and not only the backs of heads. IMO the post processing is a little flat, but I do like the image. 8
