 Not the greatest image but I figured I'd share this one with everyone. Another shot from Boston, this guy has to be one of the funniest street performers I've seen yet. What he was doing here was first he started with a Raquetball raquet and squeezed his head and arms through it down to his waste, then he started with a tennis raquet working from his feet up. At the same time he managed to take a toilet seat from top to bottom as well. I've never seen anyone's limbs contort the way his did to squeeze through these. By the way, for all of those photographers from down under, this guy is from Australia.

Besides being a good technical shot ... the faces in the audience really take this up a step.

At first I thought he was tossing knives around, lol! I love the warmer nights and the energy in the streets. You did a great job capturing this.

NIce shot, bright and clear, good focus on the performer. I would have looked to separate him a bit from the background people, perhaps at a bit lower pov, or using some shallower dof. Although I do like to see peoples faces in these types of shots too. You've caught him in a good moment.

This is an AWESOME street photo! I don't think images like this are "supposed" to be technically perfect -- its the moment that makes them perfect!

I love the obvious delight of everyone in this picture: performer, spectators, everyone. And the photographer even adds another touch of glam :)

Fantastic photo!
