So, b.d. suggested - and rightly so - that I should either put-up, or shut-up (my phrase).
I agree, and I really need to shut-up, so here is my put-up ......I thought the harp an unlikely instrument for Busking.
It is an unusual instrument for busking, but unfortunately, there is nothing in the image that says "busking," and this seems an odd composition for a photo of someone with a harp. Nice black and white and exposure though.

I do have another composition that includes the elements that you mention. But, you are quite right. I went back and forth - for the very reasons you identified - trying to decide which to process and present. In the end, I chose the first one because of the strong isolation of the subject and the closer view of her interaction with the instrument.
Thank-you for the look and the feedback - appreciated.
You are, very much, a Gentleman.

That's cool Don - yeah, I'd like to see more - it was a new one on me, not often seen in Cali.
I will confess though, I live in, and frequent a rural area where you're more likely to see Burt Reynolds in a canoe and hear banjo music, than girls with harps.

That's okay, though hopefully none are playing "Dueling Banjos". Got a story about that one!

Ha! - I'll keep my eyes open!
You know, my wife has a story too - one that involves what she saw while hiking in the forest.....
