Wonderful photo Dave, I like the subject, details and the shiny violin against the sad face of the musician, Congradulation.

Imageopolis Featured Photo Critique Wow Dave, another stunning shot. I love this freeze in time you have captured, the player look a tiny bit sad by the expression and looks to be deep in thought. I really love the slight bluring in his arm and hand, it really adds to the mood of the shot, and really gives us the impression that he is indeed playing his heart out. Great details and DOF, I think this in black and white is the perfect choice

The timing (even after "contribution") and the exposure balance were both ideal for getting the expression on the face of that man that seems to be carried away on his music, Dave! One thing is to imagine such an expression on an image but the other thing is to actually see it because somebody really captured it, and this you did perfectly here. The great details and the plasticity of the face make that explicitely visible, an not only "imaginable". Very good perspective and composition too, that placed the man in a real street under real life conditions.

The motion blur of his hand is a bit "unexpected" here, but not a big problem really. It is only too little for a real motion look and too much for a completely clear focus, but as it only occupies such a small area on the image it really doesn't make any harm.

Very very nice one!

Nick

Dave,

Glad to see you are exploring B&W processing. I do a lot of this with the course work I am doing for my Open College of the Arts degree.

A very fine capture and well processed. To be honest he looks better dressed than I usually am!

The streets are full of surprises and your image is a great example of all that, I like the B/W format for this image plus the contrast and the tone, while the atmosphere and the composition of the image is very well taken care off.

All of the best my friend.
