A nice candid but i'm not sure about the crop, it's a little distracting for a portrait

A candid portrait that works well. The light is wonderful; it not only picks out the skin tones well, but also the rich mahogony colour of the violin. The setting is bizarre, which adds to the photos 'story' and appeal. My only real gripe is with the pedestrian immediately behind the violinist. None the less, a strong photograph.

Gunnar - I didn't vote on this challenge, but this is a really nice portrait. Good looking lad as well.

Lots of distractions in the picture.... like the guy behind the violinist, the right hand side of the image, etc....

Superb use of DOF. Somewhat more of a candid, than a portrait, but I like the presentation very much. (9)

Love it.
Not your usual 'portrait' but still a portrait nonetheless.
Lovely focus and natural highlighting.

Interesting, but it doesn't *quite* work for me. Crop tighter on the left hand side, so that lampost isn't so central, and I think it gets better.
