this is very interesting.

we are merging the old world with modern concerns. In the one hand, he is a street musician, making his money in the tradition of the street, while by checking his watch, he is caught up in the need to either meet someone, or end his day working by moving on to another site or call it a day.

But by cradling his violin between his legs he is concerned with theft, otherwise it would be in his case, or on his lap.

the photo is truly a great capture of the street. again black and white has more graphic impact than color, and is the correct choice. it simplifies the image by not distracting us with color, leading the eye.

a few small complaints, not always correctable in documentary photography.

the white shirt on the man leaving is too bright and distracts my eye. if the artist doesn't mind tweeking, I would diminish its level. another method would be to lower the contrast then lowering the brightness, while still keeping the great tones in the main subjects face.

I experimented with the woman walking towards us on the left. by cutting part of her, or all of her out, it greatly improves the focus on the street musician.

damn, it is still a good photo, worthy of DD consideration.

well done,

eugene

Bello scatto! Mi piace il fatto che viene ritratto in un momento di pausa. Il violino tra le gambe e lui che controlla l'ora :)
