I really like this photo. My only comments are I wish it wasn't cropped so close to his feet & it would have been great if there were no people in the background.

Great subject. It's a shame the white bag is in the background washing out the busker.

Had you cropped this man into a tight vertical photo I would have scored it higher. For me, I found the reflection a bit distracting, but I do like the shot.

There is alot going on in this picture. I feel drawn all over the place. If you cropped out the window frame and the advertisement on the building... you would end up with a colourful shot and the musician would take front stage. Good Luck.

I like the scene here. I do not like the harshness of his hat and the ladies bags. They blend together a little too much. The subject is a little out of focus. What I like about the image is that you captured a non staged for camera point in time. Those are the photo's I like best. Good job.

Background is too busy. Great subject!

Great title, great photo, but who's that standing behind him with another camera? Another DPC-er???

I really like this photo, would have preferred it if the subject had been further to the right though.

there are some distracting elements that take away from this shot
if you could have just captured the man from below looking up at him it would have been a true winner

i like this photo, but i can't help saying that if you'd have gotten closer, it would have more impact.

I love this - The concentration on his face. Well captured. However.... That woman in the background... argh! - And that bright green trolley, very distracting.... What a pity she decided to stand there and take her photo at exactly the same time as you. (Nice title also)

Thought provoking.

This could have been a great picture with less distractions and a different angle.

looks like mental patient escaped and stole a fisher price toy

Nice pic. You weren't alone taking a shot at this scene!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/17/2005 01:36:13 PM
er....good pose but I'd have waited for the other photographer with the white bag to move, blends too much with the hat

The fact that he's centred in the shot makes this feel like a snapshot. What about rule of thirds? Someone taking a photo behind him really lets this down. I'm not really sure what you were trying to achieve here.

Good shot, but Im not sure I like the angle. I like the story the pic is telling, but I think a better composition could have added some zing.

Too much "stuff" In the background. A better crop would have made it better. I really like the subject of this pic. Stirs up emotion. Could be a great pic with a tad bit more editing!

What a shot this would have been for me without the background clutter. Kinda out of your control though, unless you wanted to direct traffic.

A little too busy in the background, but a nice capture.
