He calls himself Wally and performed during the Culture Night in Reykjavik on August 19. He is a witty guy with some good jokes and made spontanious funny remarks about spectators ecspesially those who walked through his “stage”. Sometimes I was pleased he spoke English because I had my children with me.

Great shot. Love the muted colors and the dof. Great crop and the detail on his face is perfect. Very nice shot. You should try getting a hold of theis guy as I know he would apprecaite this picture. Great job. Bumping up 1 for now.
Yay! A great shot of a juggler....they are so rare you know! Perfect crop and the perfect perpective of the guy & ball (from the chin up). Nice use of desat and the blury crowd adds the shot. Bumping to 8.
Excellent use of DOF on this, just the right amount of OOF of the observers. I think the color tones are spot on as well. Performer and ball really pop. Well done!
Very solid photo...good use of shallow depth of field...great composition. Unfortunately he doesn't appear to be doing a magic act of any kind so it feels like a good photo trying to be passed off in a challenge that it doesn't really fit. I'll still give you the benefit of the doubt and an above average score.
The color here, or more specifically lack thereof, adds a nice street feeling to the image for me. His intense concentration is interesting to see. My only concern is that the woman with her arms folded is distracting, even though you did a nice job of blurring out the audience. Perhaps a different crop would help with that? 6.
this is a winner for me...the composition and the depth of field are fantastic, with the people in the background really adding to the interest...excellent, best so far
