Princes Street in Edinburgh. As one steps out of the busy train station and comes out onto Princes Street, on a fine day a piper will often be playing the bagpipes.

This is a popular spot with tourists as this is also the drop off/pick up point for the city bus tours, as well as the Airporter. A good place to be seen and heard! The pipers are very popular with the tourists.

Edinburgh is called 'the Paris of the North'and is a very picturesque small city. The architecture is superb. Well worth a visit.

Hi Joni :)
Interesting picture from Edinburgh. Nicely you demonstrated this man, the interesting description.

tfs

Hi Joni,
I have not been in Edinburgh, and a scene like this compels me to visit someday. The framing with the intentional tilt (perhaps to accentuate the f/g curve) works for me. Have a good day! Danilo

Hi Joni

Nicely captured, a true Scott's, hmm, did you look. :=)

HI Joni
I like the bagpipes contrary to so many.
Its a good composition with sharpness and very colorful, the photo does need straightening unless that is how you wanted it.
After reading your intro I see you want internet lessons so I am adding this link which I think you will enjoy.
If you want one for learning photoshop just drop me a line

Hello Joni

A nice capture here with good colour and details. the lack of sound is enhanced here as we can clearly see him playing the pipes and yet there is silence

TFS and for joining in the theme
kind regards Helen
