Silke, I just love this shot, mainly for the colors, but there is nothing nicer than a natural portrait of someone doing what they love best and you can see it on his face! Nice details, I know you worked hard on these pics the last few weeks and your effort shows! A perfect contribution to the clothing theme, IMHO!
Love this one!

Strong colours, great smile, super sharpness on the performer. A happy shot indeed and I think the tilt is very effective here, it works well.

Curious about the f14, though? I'd personally have preferred a more blurred background.

Hi Silke,
Very good entry for the theme! Joyful photo not only with the street ambiance, coloured clothes and music, but also with this irrisistible smile starting from his mouth until his eyes. This man is happy and must give happiness around him! You captured that so well. Bravo! Annie

Hi Silke,
There is joy in his face, his clothes are certainly colorful, and I like the slight tilt. Have a good weekend. Greetings! Danilo

You came across some good photo opportunities in England Silke. Well done on this one. So bright and colourful - and I like your crooked angle. I MUST try that one day

I liked the last one of this chap Silke and this is equally as good. What caught my eye more than anything was the way the colours came out, not strong, not washed out but in between. Good crop, nice tilt and I love the Union Jack combined with the Bob Marley colours. TFS,

Hi Silke

A novel, if irreverent, use of the Union Jack. The slight tilt adds dynamism. Good colour & sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Silke,

You may have pondered long about what to post but this is an excellent choice!
The whole shot is so attractively colourful and the eyes are drawn to your main subject because he looks to happy, not only from what he is doing, but because that's his character.
What a fabulous mix of ethnic, traditional and modern!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hiya Silke

I love this shot, a close crop with half a guitar and the angle is off and it all makes for a perfect composition of this clown. Wonderful character captured here with good colour saturation too.

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

A funny snapshot is always a funny snapshot. We cannot perfect this kind of picture. The important is, what this picture tells you...
