I love the expression and concentration on his face.

Not sure why you put that big frame around the photo, but I have been guilty of doing that as well. Nice shot.

The crowd takes note
of the soul sounds
the musician plays.
People's mood moves
to the jazz blues.

Nice street capture. I wonder what soulful sounds he is playing on the street corner. Good light and nice details, I just wish we could see more of the instrument along side the musician in the composition.

A very nice candid portrait. Looks like the people in the background aren't too interested.

sadly the border detracts a great deal from the horn player. some noise reduction needed. surprised you didnt get a more passionate and physical shot at this gig. seems to be a quiet passage. gl.

really nice details in the saxophone, i like the composition, just enough of the face and instrument are showing.

Simple, great crop. The bg is *just* not blurry enough and has become a distraction to my eye. The foreground subject is crisp and clear and clean and he really loves playing - you've captured that in this image.

Nice capture of the moment. I bet this would look great in BW too. (voted earlier)

Fabulous bokeh. Enough to suggest environment but not so much as to compete with your subject.

Nicely composed.
