Before the show - street performers in NYC

At NYC Central Park couple of years ago.


NYC street performers getting ready for their show.

I like the timeless quality. Not keen on the blocked in shadows. Hmm, the backdrop is fascinating, an alternative composition would show the full panel behind, a change in direction for the story.

Superb, the complete story in a picture; the only thing missing is their sound! It would be even better if a little detail was visible in the shadows.

Thank you all for looking and for your kind comments and feedback. Since you asked here is also the full color image before cropping, and also the cropped color version without adding a little bit of additional shadows on the sides (I feel this makes the subjects stand out even more which is why I went in that direction). I love both the cropped color and the posted B&W a lot - this is one of my own all time favorite images. Also, I hope I'm not breaking the rules too bad by posting the color versions here as a follow up.

Nice! How about a bw version of the second photo?
