Very nice perspective photo, great POV! Maybe some contrast could be added, but still good work!
Regards.

Hi Ken,
I like your p.o.v and composition. It certainly has 'mood'. To whom is he playing? lovely framing. Well done!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

hi ken,
very good eyelead, i like the game of proportions and the golden instrument which matches the metallic decorations(?) of the bridge.
perfectly placed street musician.
he looks like he is completely absorbed by his music - i wish we could hear him playing, too :) ... anyhow, i sure hope he made some money that sunny day.
well seen!
thank you,
dora

A beautiful, lyrical shot, Ken. I love your angle, the curve of the old bridge and the intensity of the sax player put together. But what I find most beautiful is how his instrument echoes the pillars of the bridge. A very nice work!

Hi Ken,
lovely use of long zoom to distance
yourself from the player, but to still
keep a good portion of the bridge and
tastefully place the man in this frame.
Fine angled light and shadowed areas,
and I like his sax mirirring lamposts on
the bridge.
Smashing catch!

I like this a lot, Ken. The OOF foreground and background isolates the sax player in the middle, and his isolation is enhanced by the fact that he is alone in frame. Nice mood, light, and I like the way in which his stance and the saxophone sort of mirrors the lampposts on the bridge.
