A well balanced composition Hugh, and I definitely prefer this to the one in the WS.
Getting low down and close to the busker has worked well, and he makes a good contrast to the busy commuters in the background, oblivious to his musical charms.
The sign or whatever it is attached to the music stand over on the right, provides good balance to the musician on the left.
Good one.

Cheers,
Ben

I have to say I like you TL picture better. Until I read your note it was not clear to me what he is doing in this picture. Also the two ghostly passers in black act like a recurrent theme in your subway pictures. Perhaps you may like to add two ghostly men in black in more of your subway pictures. It will be apt for our conversations regarding the ever-watching eyes of uncle sam, as if you are under constant surveillance. Black trenchcoat an dblack hat make them look like gumshoes (Guy-Noirs hired by NSA, not by a midwestern babe in Prairie Home Companion)

Music is awesome. Thanks for the myspace link.

Hola Hugh.

Tienes fotos muy interesantes sobre la gente "de la calle" y ésta es una de ellas. Tanto la foto como las que vemos en los links son muy buenas (me quedo con ésta y con la del WS).

Veo una buena historia y una buena foto. Y créeme que no es tan fácil ver una buena historia detrás de una imagen.

Un saludo.
