Chris, you really captured all of this chap's energy and passion; his left foot obviously is tapping away like mad.  Street buskers give the sort of life to music that the recording industry generally takes away.

 

Well seen and executed.  I really think your perspective is a major contributor to this image.  Have you considered monochrome?

 

Best,

michael

Chris, to me this is one of your best street images to date. Excellent color and composition but also your timing was just right and caught this fellow at the best moment, just my opinion.

Best Regards, Holger

Good work Chris, good direct lighting showing the wrinkles in his shirt and pants. I like the trash can with the coffee cup on top, perhaps for me a full view of that beat up thing instead of the crop. The background is really cool, people coming and going, we see his passer bys

Nice shot and the background and can with coffee cup add to the storytelling. The color is great, warm throughout and the sunlight's glow plays a major role here. The color is an important part of the photo's expression, IMO. It does feel a little tight to me as well. His standing out from yet being part of his background here seems very much part of the story and the environment itself feels a bit brief, so there's a tension created between his taking up so much of the frame yet seeming to want to share it more with what's going on around him. It's a case where I actually think taking a couple of steps back would have made a positive difference without losing any of the intimacy, though you might have been run over by a car which I suppose wouldn't have been terribly intimate!

Chris, I can't add much to what has already been said, except to congratulate you on a well-seen and -captured image. It is very alive and engaging.
