 Penny whistle player, taking a few seconds breather in Park Street, Bristol.
I only had my Ixus on me so set the ISO to 400 for some quick shutter speed candids. Unfortunatly at ISO400, there is rather to much noise for my liking.

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
If onyl we all had some interesting subject matters ... and what makes it truely candid is that you didn't know you were going to take this shot.

Composition:
It works .. I don't really know why .. to my eye half the rules are broken... but they should be anyway.

Subject:
Meets the challenge and does so in a incredible manner.

Technical (Colour and light):
This is a lovely image, I personally find it a little wishy washy with the colours, but as with what he is doing this does suit. It is sharp enough ... and I think gives a real feel for the gritty old bugger he is.

To grow its vote?:
Try with another ISO setting and see that you did good this time. Not one of your top scorers but still a lovely human element here.

Summary:
Love it ... I like the energy and from the comments I have seen I like the different emotions it plays. Congrats on achieving that.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

Nice capture, but it is lacking focus and feel. I would have used more USM and toned it with a deep sepia or b/w conversion. A 5 vote from me.
