 Rarely I will go up and ask an interesting person if I can take their picture. I guess I'm afraid they might get offended or flat out turn me down. However, with Desuox, before I could finish my sentence asking if I can take his picture, his answer was "yeah yeah go right on ahead..." and then cracked a smile while he was still playing. I took a few pictures of him and we talked for a few minutes after that. This picture was taken in Kensington Market, where Desuox plays often. He's out there every single day and performing on the streets with his Djembe is his full time job.

Some soft fill flash would have helped here.

I kind of wish for a little more shadow detail in his face. Otherwise, really good.

Nice environmental portrait. A little over the top on color saturation maybe (especially the blue tones), but nonetheless well seen and captured. Good luck.
