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

| I just read the comments on this and just realized that in this one and in others, "busy" often makes a photo come alive and I wish it weren't always treated so poorly on DPC. This image is about life and that is not well represented always by singular simplicity. |

| Composition and overall this is a great shot. I do think it might have been better without the bright areas in the central--perhaps a gradient mask and levels adjustment could have subdued those some. Still, the subject is strong here and the bright areas do not detract from him like they would in a weaker shot. |

| I really like this photo. The high key effect in the background is really nice. I could see this being on a billboard somewhere. Very lucky find. |
