Street Musician, Branson Mo,

I caught this street musician at the Landing in Branson Mo. The conditions to take his picture could have beem a lot better. Very strong side lighting, deep shadows and only one chance. he quit playing the second sax right after I shot this. But after a little photodhop work I managed to get a resonably acceptable picture. IMHO

Nice catch and good shot, John. How great you had your camera ready and reacted quickly so as not to miss this unusual musician.

Yes, one doesn't always get much time to take the telling photos. Nice job.

John, I like the shot a lot. Wow two sax's at once. Must have some very flexible lips. You're right its a bit glaring, but that is so hard to control. Linda

Nice shot. Almost has that "posterized" look to it. I especially like Santa in the window display ...... at a glance I got he impression that the musicians reflection in the window was actually Santa!!
