normally, I'm not a huge fan of grain, but I think this image could use a little. It seems so clean compared to the street scene it's portraying. almost sterile.
This is a very fine portrait of the fiddle player. the shot is well compsoed and very finely taken. BUT: the challenge was not to take something extraordinary and make it look mundane, was it?
The tones, light and focus couldn't be much better. I don't like the composition. So much going on and his foot is a hat. I think the crop and the (interest) is him and the fiddle. ?Maybe from the waist up would of been plenty. :) Good luck in the challenge. P.S. sweet lens you have there.
