Right place. Right time. Well done! You have captured the delicate balance here. I might have lightened the darks a bit, but as it is, it's still among my top picks for best of show.
I realize these things aren't in your control, but it's too bad that the fiddler blends into the background. Also, the picture would be better if it didn't have the OOF head in the lower left. An original subject. Good work.
Very nice shot, really captured the moment. Perhaps a shallower DOF would keep my attention away from these interesting people in the background?... :-)
Great capture...but you should have cropped it more. You could crop out hte distracting blue sign on the left and the head on the left. Along with the white sign on the right and the head on the right and maintained most of the the look and feel without distracting elements. Had you done this it'd be a likely 8.
Shame about the 3 heads in the foreground. Harsh sun really spoils the shot, especially as the audience are looking into it. Why centre your performer? This seems unimaginative. The head is too near the top edge of the shot. Very impressive acrobatics though, I can't imagine being able to do that... does he keep the rhythm of his violin playing steady?
