    I like it! I might opt for a touch less foreground, and maybe lose the contral.

    Great perspective.

    I like your POV on this. You were living dangerously:)

    While I often times find shots of street performers boring (shots of just the performers without any othe interaction), I like the ones that are different and this is one of them. Had you shot him straight on, it would have likely been meh. I also like how much of the background is visible with the Schiller hotel sign.

    I really like this - the perspective, the V of the lines of the flags and the conversion.

    Thanks for looking! I took this shot sometime ago and had to work very hard in post processing to get it to this level. It is shot straight into the sun and exposure of anything but the sky was dark. Now I like this shot and I felt it is a good time to have a look at it again and you are helping with that. Perhaps the blacks are a little too black for instance.

    Try adding a smidge of fog to it, then finger up the contrast.
    Very cool shot, maybe take just a sliver off the bottom.

    I like the shooting angle. I am surprised that there is not a crowd gathered around at all in the shot.

    Well the crowd were enjoying their beers on the terrace to the right.

    I lover getting close with a wide angle, in particular also close to the ground.
