Photographer’s Note

A father son acrobat team entertains passers by outside the Rosebank flea market. I always find a number of great subjects for photography here. Rosebank has plenty of nice restaurants and coffee shops as well as the African craft market.

Cute picture of the young acrobat, good tight crop. I like his alert expression.

Hi Wanda,
An apparently uncomfortable posture, in which he keeps a smily face, something impossible for most of us! Nice light and colorswith sharp details. Interesting to see his Dad's feet holding him ..
Greetings

Wonderful shot. He looks so relax, not impressed by thepicture and not really stressed by theexercise he is doing. I like theway his feet are positioned. Geraldine

Hi Wanda,
very artistic scene, strong entertainment by the boy. The yellow and black clothings works fine for this. The blurred background is well done, but it seems that the focus are on the feet not the face.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Wanda
Quite a difficult posture(a yoga posture known as the Scorpio) which you've captured very well! Love the beautiful and smily face of the boy looking directly at you ;)
Cheers

Hello Wanda,

Remarkable capture, showing just the younger of the two acrobatic pair. The colors are superb, and your short note informs us effectively.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Wanda,
That' some pretty serious flexibility, and to be able to look at you and make a nice smile hints it's even easy for him to do this! He doesn't look the slightest bit strained. Nice colours and composition, and the eye contact is what makes the shot
Thanks for showing, regards
Lee

Hi Wanda,
A great street acrobatic shot - clear and sharp. Either the boy could hold that pose for a while as you set it up or you're just really fast at taking the shot correctly!
Cheers,
Dave
