Youth festival was held in Reykjavik last weekend. On Friday a band was playing outdoor at diverse places downtown. She is the band´s violinist. I spotted her walking in the crowd.

damn, i missed the youth festival?! nah, at least i hope to make it to the airwaves again...;)
this is a wonderful photograph, the traffic lights really add to this candid situated shot!
Although it is a nice idea, I think there are too much distracting elements around, for instance the traffic light. The main object in this case is too small in the picture. On the other hand I doubt that this is a setup, so it is already a bit of a lucky shot.
Excellent! I assume she is your model, and not some strange girl walking around town with a violin out of its case. Either way, it's well done, and it's unusual enough that it catches my attention, even after voting on 126 portraits.
The only thing that hurts this shot is the man looking over her shoulder. He directly competes for your attention and distracts from her. I'd clone out both him and the back of the head on the other side of her neck.
A candid portrait that works well. The light is wonderful; it not only picks out the skin tones well, but also the rich mahogony colour of the violin. The setting is bizarre, which adds to the photos 'story' and appeal. My only real gripe is with the pedestrian immediately behind the violinist. None the less, a strong photograph.
Great picture. I love the contrast of the ordinary (the woman's typical haircut, the backpack, the stoplight) with the near-exotic (the violinist, of course).
