*Critique Club*
2 things stand out to me right away in this shot. First the background seems odd. I like the colors and I like how it is blurred, but it seems to be 'bleeding' into the 1/2 wall behind the man. See how the top of the little wall kind of just fades into the background? It seems unnatural to me. Still, the colors are nice, and it is blurred nicely as to avoid distracting elements.
Second quite noticable thing is the grain on the man. I would like to have seen a more clear photo with detail on his face and hair. I feel that with the grain, I'm missing detail that could be in his face. Also, his hair is so unique that I think I'd like to see that quite clearly too.
While the focus seems ok, the grain is kind of hiding it. The lighting on his face is a bit dark, would like to see just a bit more lighting on his face.
I love the feel of this photo. He's a rugged looking man, but the photo is so gentile. I think that you captured a very good moment. An interesting character for sure.

| This image has a strong appeal because of the body poise and the character. The lighting, being natural, constrain the tonal value and superior focus, but all the same it remains pleasing.6 |

Nice composition & character captured.
Background (upper) is a bit odd and feels a bit unnatural, especially where it blends to horizontal lines. |

| Great capture, the composition is perfect. Is this a crop from a much larger image? The only reason I ask is there is a lot of noise. I think I would have ran this one through neat image (not something I normally suggest) on a very low setting to keep the grain but drop some of the noise. Other then that I think this is a great candid and perfect for this challenge |

| I love looking at street buskers, I think they're very interesting subjects. You get a 10 from me, but the subject seems a little grainy, I guess you were zoomed in & tough to get a good lighting on a candid with the subject backlit like that. Great, interesting photo, though. [10] |

| More light on his face and less on his hand would have been nice. Good bokeh. |
