Street Singer

This person was playing lovely music using the Kaban, a Somali

instrument. When I asked his permission to photograph him, he

replied, "Do what you like. Everyone does it". Made me wonder; in

quest of a good photo, do we at times turn people into mere

surrendering exhibits?

This photo is one of my first attempts with a prime lens. Thank you for

your constructive criticism.

Great tones and perfect DOF for the background. Perhaps focus a little too soft the subject itself.

A very strong and beautiful portrait... Great black and white color tones and contrast.. Lovely composition....

 

Best Regards, Jill

Thanks, Meir and Jill for your comments. I felt the same way as Meir did...the face could have been crisper. I tried to correct it as best I could (with my very limited knowledge of Corel) but I knew that the best chance to get a sharp image had passed when I took the photo.
