 Had quite a giggle over the title, which of course was meant as harmless good fun. For those who may not know, a schmear is a common Yiddish term used when ordering cream cheese on a bagel..."I'll have a bagel with a schmear." This guy was watching a contortionist at South Street Seaport in NYC. Hate his Yankee hat though...Go Mets! :)

Take a tiny bit of the left and top, and this would be a very strong picture, compositionally, I think. I also like that the colors are very basic/primary, and it seems to make them work well together.

Hate the Yankee's hat :P Guess I can't mark off for that though.. I like the background, but the subject is so, so.

Love the title! I would have called it the "S.S. Mein Kind" (ess, ess, mein kind is Yiddish for "eat, eat, my child"), but I doubt more than a couple people would get that.
