Crowd pleaser 2, a photo from Seoul, North

Photographer's Note

I thought this would make everyone happy.

This is the second picture of the crowd pleaser series and here it shows the same man after his performance and the crowd are in hysterics of laughter, I thought this man was born a comedian and a crowd pleaser, he even got a foriegner involved in his act, it was great, unfortunetly I didnt take many pictures of him.

He was a great musician and a comedian and again on eitherside of the crowd, no one could get past because there was no room, only the audience and believe me, he was good, I mean I dont understand Korean but I was like part of the whole atmosphere, I guess laughter is universial and when a crowd of people laugh it is overwhelming and that is what I felt and it was truly an amazing thing.

Thanks for your comments

Hi Daniel, I like this picture a lot, nowadays at least in Hamburg it is so rare to see people laughing publicly. The gesture he is giving you is great, good moment you caught. The composition with the heads in the foreground and the DOF give great depth and show us that he really had a big crowd. Great work, thanks for sharing. Yours, Jan

J`aime bien votre prise...Sans avoir lu votre texte , J`avais déja eu le feeling universel contagieux du rire......
Tres bien vu et rendu!!!!! Les têtes en avant-plan me dérange un brin, mais en même temps participe à renforcir l`attrait que ce personnage avait....
Bravo!

Excellent capture! They all look happy, and so am I!
I like the assembly of faces and facial expressions. The performer looks like he's pleased with himself as well... Glad you enjoyed the show!

I remember that fellow, Daniel! And I also remember how your earlier shot of him made me smile just the same way that this one does. The laughter and joy of the crowd is infectious, and the pose of the guy is a sight to see. Thanks for sharing this engaging moment here on TE.
This one goes into my "Artists at work" theme.

Very fine capture Daniel :-) - you surely got this shot at the right moment - and yes it makes one happy to see all those happy people. Good work indeed.

Brilliant shot Dan. You've really managed to make me feel involved in this photo. The expressions you've captured are genuine and full of life, and you've also managed to give an impression of how many people were here.
On a tech' note, it looks a bit blue - maybe increase the contrast a bit? Great note too.
