Thank you for submitting your photo to DPChallenge, Free Study VIII.
It's a great capture of a man trying to play two wind intruments at the same time. Street musicians are very interesting people. Very talented souls that play their hearts out. Most people are just mildly amused by their skill and talents. It also appears that he has another band member that plays a keyboard or he also doubles as a keyboard player. Now, that I like to see. He is really a one man band.
I like what you tried to do here. Cropping the photo to showcase only the musician. In street photography it is very difficult to isolate a subject. Often times there are many distracting elements in the way. A man that plays two trumphets is very unique in itself. Trying to frame it just right is near impossible in the streets. I am familiar with NYC, so I am guessing this is in Manhattan, near the West Village?
The overall tone is very good. He and the color cast makes it look very retro. Almost like the 1940's era. Even his clothing fits the sepia tone range you selected.
Anyway well done. You have manage to make a diamond out of the rough. The narrow framing is difficult for some viewers. But the subject should have won you over some winners.
Good luck in your next DPChallenge. |

| the crop is tight, but I imagine your bg was crowded and messy so you had to try to simplify the shot. |

| I don't know maybe such a tight crop on a street scene shot, is not the best I think, looks like you are trying to hide something. Else it's a wonderful image, interesting scene and great tones. |
