A totally candid shot I was lucky enough to catch just once. The child was totally fascinated by how the "statue" reacted to her dropping a coin and I thought her "little discovery" was delightful and worth capturing. PS was simply to reduce the overall blue tints besides the usual basic levels and curves adjustments. This automatically brightened up the street performer making her look as tho she glowed like an apparition (at least to me).
Don't really expect this to do well but would really welcome any thoughts on how I could improve it.

The whites of the entertainer seem a bit too white, kind of disjointed with the rest of the photo. It's like the entertainer was processed for high key, and rest of the photo was processed for richer, deeper tones. The slice of life vibe of this really make it an interesting photo though, and makes the bright whites more of a minor issue.
Interesting photo...I assume that's a street performer? The child is so captivated :-) The white of the street performer came out really well...you've done a good job exposing this shot.
I really like the way that without seeing th childs face you can tell that she is really curious about what is going on with the performer. The white is very brilliant and i feel you lose a little definition having it so bright, such as the performers hand over their body, it kind of just melts into the solid white.
