Very interesting image Yuri. I like the way the musician seems real, in color, and present in the moment, while those in the background appear to be just passing shadows. Melanie (mlynn)

I agree with Jerry's comments. There is a strong feeling of isolation due to colour and lack of colour and the blurring of the anonymous people.

Wonderful shot, Yuri. I enjoy street performers, but many people don't - or don't want to feel obligated to "contribute". So many look the other way or pass by as if they were invisible. Your photo captures that feeling.

Yuri,

This is a very nice image. I like very much how you have combined color with B/W, how you have framed the musing player on the right to capture the people passing buy with a good sense of motion.

Great image,

Miguel

yuri, this is really a special image. wide angle is particularly good for street photography, in fact, all of the greats of the past really only used 50mm or wider on their leica! i really like the movement of the two subjects in the background, and the main subect in color is really cool. well done, -- andy
