Challenge has finished

"A street artist is someone who creates and/or sells their art or craft in public for the pleasure of passers-by, usually tourists, in order to earn money. Some people use the term 'street artist' more broadly and also refer to people involved in busking, such as musicians who sing and/or play instruments, acrobats, jugglers, living statues." Wikipedia

As a matter of fact I don't know (and don't remember), they were quite far and soon after I photographed them a cop came and drove them away.

No, I didn't - there was no reason to do it at aperture 5,6 and focal length 200 mm (300 mm on D90), I just used some cropping. And you can see the changing blur on the pavement, as well as different blur on persons on different distance. And beside that - I am not so good in Photoshop to do it.
