Thank goodness for soft light, the best for street people anytime. As harsh sunlight would've killed the content with deadly shadows, unless the musician were standing in shade. On my monitor it looks like the contrast could've been increased slightly, this is not a criticism of the photograph but as it appears on my screen, therefore not the case in real world printing. Certainly this is the better of the two photographs, as the alternate is too busy for the eyes to lock on and appreciate any one point of it. Your eye seems to dart here there and everywhere finding "little pictures within the big picture." As usual for Steve, another keeper! ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
