A puppeteer and his puppets

I saw these folks spreading a little Christmas cheer in downtown Portland a couple weeks ago. As always, C&C most welcome.

Great shots! I like the use of differential focus.

Do you have any more, perhaps with a wider lens to include more of the subject(s).

I wish I had a chance to take more. There was a HUGE crowd gathering as they "performed" and it became increasingly difficult to get in close for some good shots and I only had the nifty fifty along for the day.....too bad because it was quite cool and there were 3 puppets and 2 different puppeteers.

Thanks for the comments.

#1 is spot on. I could have figured it out without a title. Great composition. Maybe open up the exposure on his face a little?

I agree on his face being too dark. I'll see what I can do. Thanks thumb

#1 is very nice. I tried to imagine it as a print in a museum and it worked for me.
