 An interesting couple of musicians found at Bethesda Terrace, Central Park, NYC.

Post Challenge:
I'm SORRY about the feet!!! Trust me, I did not cut off their feet or crop this in the unbalanced way that it is on purpose. I took quite a few shots of these two, and this was by far the best. Except that I was trying to avoid the head of a small child who had plopped herself down right in front of the girl's open violin case on the ground (and of course, the rest of their feet!).

Anyway, thanks for the votes. My best so far!

hey, that looks like Silverfoxx! I hope she hasn't come into hard times!

High score from me. I like the moody tone as well as the contrast between the building's decorative artwork and the grime and droppings of an older urban setting. Good environemntal portrait of the guitarist. Wish I could see her face, but it is artistic as is. Street musicians are generally underappreciated.

Very good toning! the crop is a bite out of balance

Great tones, wish you had sacrificed some off the top of the shot to include their feet though, that or cropped it to more panorama and cut off just above the plastic bag in the lower right corner. 6 from me.

Nice candid. They seem very concentrated.

Good moment would have voted higher if their feet were there. It seems incomplete this crop

It's a pity you didn't centre them vertically in the frame. All that space above their heads and missing feet.

I think the soft pastel colours work with this image

I like it, but the amputation of the feet spoils it and makes it look like a tourist snapshot...sorry :-(
