Music for a buck, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Warming his hands on a cold day ? No. Just playing harmonica for a buck or two. Life is cold sometimes.
---
Had this one since some time, in color, then decided that maybe it would be better in B&W. I think I was right. Left it soft, because his life isn't so sharp after all.

Nice people shot. The B/W treatment is a good idea for this subject. It would have been nice to get his right foot in the frame but it is not so important. Well seen and captured.

J'offre à Nina une palme d'or en catégorie reportages (si je pouvais), vous avez bien fait d'isoler le sujet du fond. En couleur la photo aurait perdu de sa valeur.

Oops. Did a workshop, but forgot to say how much I liked this image. The outline of the man seems very soft. Did you blur it in photoshop?

I appreciate the human side of this picture. I like the blured background but we can see the trace left by the select tool.
