lol, very funny title. As an ex muso, I really feel for that poor guy, his fingers must have barely been able to tune the guitar, let alone play it!

This guy would have had whatever money in my wallet I had, and a nice hot coffee or hot chocolate.

Great capture. Terrific focus and intensity on the subject's face. The crop seems a tad tight on the top, but otherwise I can find little to criticize. Very stirring urban scene.

Here's number 1000 for you. Great image that offers many emotional responses. I hope you gave him a buck.

heh, great title! Toronto warmed up a bit since then :)

His fingers will be frostbit, poor guy.

Poor fella. Is that Santa?

Great atmospheric shot. i'd definitely drop him some change. Perhaps you could try curve control next time to better the contrast.
Post actions
Funny, that would have been good for the Visual Pun challenge.

Like the title, like the pic too. Not overly keen on that tree in the foreground on the right though. Nice candid.
Post actions
Wow, it looks cold so title does suit image well and it's a good shot as well...
Post actions
The second first tree on the right is out of focus. However by cropping it out it works :)

brings back memories.. used to play guitar down on yonge street in TO in the 70's..... not in winter though.. really like this shot

A wonderful city musician capture!
Post actions
clever title, good portrait, background is somewhat distracting
Post actions
Nice portrait of musician and DOF that comparatively blurs the BG figures; trees seem to block it in and limit the perspective on the city though
Post actions
Another Toronto Shot!! I like this one alot, really captures "City Life".
Post actions
That's one dedicated street musician! First I thought you should have cropped out the pole & the trees, but then I tried it and all city context was lost. It was no longer a photograph about the city; it became a photograph about the musician instead. Still good, but the meaning of it changed. Not, I feel sure, what you would have wanted. So you made a fine choice and a fine image as a result. Well done.
Post actions
Well done, I wonder if it would have looked even better converted to B&W?
Post actions
nice shot, but the composition doesn't quite sit with me
Post actions
Good city life entry. I'd be curious to see what this looks like with the pole on the left cropped out. With it in there, the gentleman seems..."boxed in" by the trees. All in all though, I think it's a good entry.
Post actions
This one is good. Nice DOF and good framing job.
Post actions
AWESOME... the pole/trees are a little distracting.
Post actions
Classic image of city life. I like the snow and the way the trees frame the main subject. Could wish for slightly warmer skin tones.

LOL!! Great title, nice shot & DOF!
Post actions
nice capture, very emotional, I just don't like the concrete pole to the left, it doesn't correspond good with the trees...
Post actions
clever title, but the shot could be more interesting, maybe from a different angle or close up view
Post actions
I can almost hear the strumming of his guitar. Nice emotive capture. Only suggestion would have been to bump up the saturation some.
Post actions
oh so very cool. i love how u captured the snowflakes. the people in the background add the city life touch to it. very nice 7
Post actions
Awesome title. That's a dedicated musician!!! I wish the contrast were a bit more. Maybe saturate the colors a bit more. I do like the composition though. 7
