hi Hugh,

Perfect shot :DDD i like the man playing serious and the woman of the painting on the right side thinking :"look at him, poor fellow ... " a typical woman-act : thinking loud and in the meanwhile playing with your hair... :DD
great , you made me really laugh and i can use it after a crazy day at work.
Thanks Hugh, inn :)

Yeesh! What a performer - it's great! A fantastic angle and perfect timing, you've got him in classic playing pose and his face and eyes are terrific.
Criticism though - I think you wanted to include the mosaic behind him, but the mosaic isn't the subject of the photo so it has distracted you from making the most of your subject.
More zoom, a different angle to eliminate the blue railing behind, a tighter crop to remove the awkward guy in the bottom-left, and less central composition would all help this (already fantastic) shot become even more powerful
Enjoying this series!

Great shot. The guy is fantastic. He is so concentrated to playing. Reminds me of my myself during my piano exams. Only I didn't get far enough to play before the audience.

Hi Hugh,
What a medalion! The musician's head just framed by the mosaic! Your shot is full of humor, congratulations!

He looks as if he was a part of the mural. Something medieval about the whole image. Well seen, well taken.

Interesting portrait, picturesque face and posture, all framed in the nice old-gold arch, contrasting with the black suit. Excellent compo.

TFS,
