Perhaps would have been better with his right hand, which I miss here.

Shame about the slightly odd angle and the cars, but this is a nice portrait. 6/10

Great candid and very interesting subject. I like the composition and how you've filled the frame with the subject.

nice lighting and focus. the car parts seem to command more attention than they should. perhaps it was your intention to show a busy street life surrounding him. feels a bit unbalanced to me with all that action in the upper left of the frame

This is a really good shot. The cars in the background add to the story and let us know he is a street performer while still allowing you to get close up.

I like how you don't see the hand that holds the bow. And his eyes, of course. 9.

Very interesting subject. In this case, I find the wheel by his head seems to be a bit distracting.
