    Interesting. Does he fit all of that on the bike? And is the Quaker Oats container part of the rhythm section or is it a tip jar?

    Can't say this one does much for me. He's just tuning up, so there's nothing really happening. Also, you're kind of far away. The straight-on camera angle and centered composition are a bit dull. The Union Jack in the background is distracting. And I don't care for the fade effect around the edges -- it seems to me that any artificial-looking effect like that detracts from street photography. The subject has possibilities but the moment isn't right. If you could see him singing, playing guitar, and controlling the percussion with his feet, it would be more interesting.

    The Union Flag in the background is actually being flown upside down…

    …which indicates that someone might be in distress…
