Hello Hu,

very nice in the action double portrait with both of the "actors" having a fine gesture.
The background with all those portraits is good one for this photo because it makes the colors pop out in contrast with the dominants black and white tones.

A pitty this post right in the middle of the photo but I understand it was hard to avoid it to have this angle.

Cheers.
Paulo

Hello Yinghui,

This is a classic shot of a street artist plying his trade. As a scientist by vocation, and an artist by avocation, I am fascinated by street artists. Among them are some very talented artists, and we can learn from them. What is essential in this photo is that you've shown the artist, the subject, and the artist's work.

Warm regards,

Bulent
