always approciated, Loic

I love the b&w. How would it look cropped closer? There is a lot going on here.

Hi Jennifer, many thanks for your comment. Agree the photo is very busy, a bit too busy maybe for some taste. But how would you recommend to crop ? I think the two persons who are talking are the main subjects, but I also want to keep all the musical instruments which are also part of the story ? Any other views welcome. B. regards, Loic

Your whole ' Paris B/W' series is 'magnifique',Loic. Compliments and regards,El.

Very good street photo in BW. I like this one with the two musicians talking, the instruments "resting" in the street and the rest of the "world" going on.

it's very good and interesting work. You took this in hard light and you've got some blownout bits. Should be easy to correct

in the streets photographies, for me, is not important at all if the frame is busy.... i say that is good to have to walk with eyes all over the pic, looking for details. The important thing is that every element have to contribute to the meaning of the photo. and here there is absolutely nothing useless. all the elements write a word of this story. bravissimo, and also the bw is good, a little bit "dirty", as the situation.

John Coltrane is in their faces ("A Love Supreme"). Congrats.

Great B&W documentary of music in the street.

 

I grew up in NYC and am quite familiar with the best that street music has to offer. What's amazing here are the number of instruments and their seeming quality (shining, good wood, nice cases, etc.) This might by a symphony orchestra! Well seen and captured.

 

Cheers ~

I love this composition as I used to watch a lot of street musicians play JAZZ. A Lovely street photo!
