Violinist

Richard

I took a bunch of pics the other day of street musicians. This was one of my favorites.



He was part of a string quintet playing Vivaldi, quite well in fact.

C&C always welcome.

I like it, Richard!
Great composition (with this diagonal bow)...

Angelo

a beautiful shot!
excellent composition and exposure with just the right amount of bokah

there's something inframe on the right side that is unfortunate but, oh well.

he has a little white spot on his chin.

Thanks, Yuri. Glad you liked it.

Thanks, Angelo. I guess I was so concerned with adjusting the curves in post that I missed the crumb on his chin. Then again, so did he. It should be easy enough to fix. The stuff in the backgound just came with the territory, I'm afraid. I was shooting between the heads of a large crowd and there were frequently people in garish colored clothing walking behind the musicians as well, so I think I was lucky to get this shot at all.

Thanks, Rich. I hadn't looked at the music thread before and it's pretty cool. I might post a pic or two there later today. Nothing as dramatic as the concert shots that are there already, I'm afraid.

That shot, belongs in a textbook...

minus, the crum...

Thanks, R Johns. Maybe in the chapter, "Look Very Carefully."

Version 2
OK, so I removed the crumb. While I was at it I tweaked the curves and tried to clean up the background as much as I dared.



Thanks again to Angelo for constructive criticism.
