i've seen that guy. you should have waited for him to get in the box, and then taken a shot of him from the ground up...

needs a shallower DOF to pick her out from her surroundings.

Interesting choice! The angle of the capture makes it hard to see your subject, though. First thing I see is the red butt in the air then the lady with the white thing in her hand. Takes me awhile to find the contortionist.

Interesting news article, but not front page worthy. Also, a better use of DOF, and possible a different angle might have added to the appearance of this photo.

Interesting shot but I suspect this person was going to be in the box so it would have had more impact if the shot showed him partially in the box (or mostly).

Nice cropping. IMHO it could use a little more saturation and perhaps a shadow dodge on the face of the performer.

Composition needs work. The forground and background are competing for attention.
