I dont know why this pic was moved into its own thread. Its just a quick snapshot of a man playing the guitar at Pike Place market. I posted it in one of the street scene exercise threads just to see if it was what people were looking for.
I guess, since its in its own thread now, i should ask for criticism. I didnt take much time to compose the shot and set the exposure, so the background in the unprocessed original isnt as far out of focus as i wanted. I did a simple lens blur over a poorly executed mask.
What would you have done differently in post processing to save this image?
A bit more light on the face if possible is what I suggest. Interesting subject!
I think it's quite a bit too dark, and I think the background blurring is a good idea, but is a bit too much. I agree with VayCayMom that it is an interesting subject!
