Hello from the critique club. It's been quite awhile since I pulled up a photo to critique. If I keep getting ones like this, I'll have to do it more often :)

I really like the composition and the way your subject seems to pop out from the rest of the photo. Catching him in the middle of a song, playing and singing, makes the subject stronger than if he was just sitting with the guitar. I almost feel like the viewer is his audience.

The background does seem a bit busy for the challenge, but not for the photo as it stands alone. The colors and activity in the background give a great feel of putting the subject in context. The background is bright, yes - but details are still visable, even at the end of the street. I think it adds some liveliness to the shot.

I have a great pair of gloves like that for playing cold-weather guitar also (great for winter photography as well!)

Overall, an excellent job of a candid, photojournalistic photo. I don't think I'd change a thing.

Hope this is helpful!
Judy

Cool idea. Was this taken through a TV movie? Or perharps on yourself? I'm curious as to how to did the spiraling effect?!. Colours are interesting and composition is interesting. I do not think of this as surreal tho. 6

Truly art meets photography. The Scream comes back to us through photography.

Too abstract, not very "surreal" I am afraid. Nice image though.

I like this pic. Great composition. The "grain" works well IMO in this case. Not sure if I like the bright "spikes"(?), like to see it without them. Nice job.
