This was a stree musician at Venice beach. He had a bedroll, a cart for rolling his amplifier and a huge empty water bottle for his tip jar with "thank you" scrolled on it in black marker. I never saw his face but loved his hat and his red guitar. Desat/ sat; cropped.

I gave this a 10 during the voting and just visited it again - One of my favorites of the challenge and feel it should have scored higher. Nice emotion you captured here without even seeing a face. Good choice of desaturation, but not overdone!
This picture is SO cool! It conveys such a spirit. It could almost have been a winner in the time capsule challenge too. It just draws me into the 60's for some reason. I love your composition, and it's about as sharp as it could be -- especially since it looks like it may be a candid shot. FANTASTIC JOB!!! 10
His arms have a very strange texture here, possibly as a result of selective desat that I don't believe has helped this photo in any way at all. The background is too cluttered however you choose to process the photo.
