    I get both the implied signals but 1 the voilin is running into the guitar, I guess I would like to see more of the chord being struck. Making it a stronger signal.Can see the chord on the voilin but it is not the one in focus.
    2 it takes a second to figure out that it is smoke. I was trying to think of someone I knew who could do smoke rings.
    Good ideas

    The brown stuff on the bottom of the second photo is a distraction and I agree about the comment regarding the smoke rings.

    You're on to a good idea with the first one. But to pull it off you'll need to see the musicians faces and eyes. Do you have a shot of the guitar player looking and leaning toward the violinist to cue him in an on entrance? That kind of a shot would be awesome. thumb.gif

    Thanks, Chris and Linda.

    I do have some other shots of the street musicians but they're not very compelling. It's funny, the shot I posted is exactly what I was going for--with the instruments lining up at the heads. It's one of those things that if you have to explain it, it probably doesn't work ;) I do have a funny shot of this film crew and a guy waiting to cross the street. It's a bit over-the-top, but perhaps I'll edit it and post. Reminds me of John Lithgow's "Acting!!" bit.

    I like shot #1 as is with the tight crop.
    I also think the title is perfect.

    I was downtown, just minding my own business when this entire film crew busted out of the light rail car. There were about ten people all filming this guy. I think it's funny he waited for the signal--there were no cars.

    'Wait for it...' is hilarious!

    I have to say though that I didn't catch the signaling hand until after I read your post. The photographer shooting the guy seems to pull my eye to that side of the photo.

    Looks kinda like John Turturro ("Do the Right Thing" "Transformers")
