Cropped, USM, adjust curves, etc. No spot editing at all. I talked to this guy for 20 minutes and got his permission to photograph him. He's saving money to get his trumpet reconditioned.
I expect to get hammered because the background words from the restaurant are too focused and too much part of the composition, but I like the yellow-blue color-play and the obvious message that this is a street musician.

Challenge: 10 meets my requirments or person or people
Compostion: 10 I love the way you filled the frame. The left side orientation adds to the right side with the use of the trumpet
Technical: 10 Very sharp and the colors are just delightful. I can see the various tonal shadows of the brass. A color very hard to show in digital photographs.
Creativity: 10
Overall: 10
nice framing, lovely sharp focusing on the instrument, if the blue background was desaturated a bit then the instrument and man would leap out more imo. well done one of my top photos.
This seems a little closely cropped, but is nonetheless a very interesting candid. Somehow, it seems as if this would make a stunning black and white... but that's probably just my personal preference coming through! Textures and clarity are awesome. Nice job.
