THE IMAGE: Saw this guy in the subway at Flinders Street Station. He was belting it out. I like the details on the wall, including the do not spit sign. Notice the fact that there is spit all over it? If I had more light and time, I would have shot a better image. I don't particularly like the distortions in the lens, nor do I like the way the light worked, but at the end of the day, it was pretty spontaneous.
I gave him $4 I had in my pocket for the privilege...
EDIT: Grayscale, duotone, B and W filter tint, levels, USM, Noise Ninja.
PREDICTION: Well, I have been getting hammemred lately. Maybe my MOJO has gone again. If I get 6.1 for this, maybe I should throw a party!

i love the signs (do not spit and his advert) - you can photograph the wedding and he can play - that is a deal! I think the image may suffer a bit from the choice of cropping - he seems almost too far over to the edge.
Ah, there's a lot of clues here - is that you, hotpasta? :) Not a bad image, although a little blown in the highlights, mainly the shirt. There's also a bit much space for my liking, with the amp taking a subtle centre stage, and the artist falling off the edge of the frame. Would be nice to edit out the barrel distortion too. Still, overall, not a bad image.
