Nice shot of a street musician and crowd. Italy I presume? You really captured the environment. Well done.

Nice candid street shot - I like the fact that we are the only people looking at the musician whilst everyone else is looking elsewhere. The only small problem I see is that his face just gets a little jumbled with the womean's legs in the background, which is slightly distracting.

Hmmmm, please take this as a compliment, this reminds me very much of a melethia shot. Well done. Love the curved line of the pavement that leads your eye right into the heart of the picture and the action. 7

nice street shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:00:26 AM
a candid shot, and you certainly included a lot of the environment. I'd almost like to see this as a diptych with a close up portrait of him too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:52:06 PM
nice architecture all around ... the building are just a bit too white for my liking
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:43:50 PM
Nice street photo. I find the bright buildings on the top a slight distraction, but it doesnt take away too much from the performer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:15:55 PM
Black and white works good here, well done.

Nice slice of life, clean, crisp.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

great shot, but I would have waited for the funny walking couple to move away from the center of the picture, they take away from the main subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:20:02 AM
Slice of life. Like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Fantastic street shot.

Nice street photo, but busy. There seems to be two subjects here, the environment and the musician.
