Looks cold out there. He must be dedicated.

What an interesting person! I would crop it a little tighter (which is difficult, because his leg and foot help to define where he is) and I would mess with the levels and saturation to bump the coloring up a notch.

Looks scary. Nice focus, nice details and composition. Overall this doesn't have a lot of interest for me. = 7

Interesting candid... but this is exactly the kind of photo that benefits the most from the rule of thirds. Placing his body further to the left and down a little would mean the direction of his gaze would lead you across the photo to look at the people passing him by, not looking at him, then down to his drums and back around, up to his face. Some work on the colours would also help, they seem a touch washed out (just increase the contrast or work on the levels). Although there is some intest in the left side of the photo because of the bridge, it's not really adding to the composition at all.

Good focus, a little action (title's a little "off"), but medium low "wow" factor. 6 Swash

Unique shot. I like the composition and subject. I'm formerly from Pittsburgh so this all looks familiar. Good Job. DPz

i worry that he will fall. i wonder how it would have looked with him more over in the left 3rd instead of centered. cool shot

Great candid shot, beautifully focused. However, I personally would have cropped more to the right (if possible), since the uprights on the left don't add anything to the shot. Also, since the colours are quite muted, this may have worked well as a b&w shot.
