Playing the blues III

this is also beautiful... nice collection of the band. i tried to find my favorite among 3, but each are differently nice.

A wonderful portrait and again I'd love to hear the music:-)

Very nice framing…

Love the complimentary tones in this superb composition! The concentration and mood of the artist is also very well captured!

This serie of portraits is wonderful ! The smoothness of the image is wonderful - a great bravo again, JJ**

This isn't criticism but I see a difference in the light on your street people photos. Your architecture photos have more drama . It is the point of view and the dramatic lighting I like in your architecture photos.

Great portrait, nice focus!

Could use a lil more contrast :) Like John said, your architecture shots have lots of punch, the people shots in comparison seems a lil bland. But still, enjoying the series. This guy looks like Grissom from CSI!

What ever kind of post work you are doing here, it is great I love the muted tones another great Candid portrait shot :)

I like this portrait, as the two precedents, and I agree: maybe a bit of contrast and selective focus can help to make them even better :)

JJ! Excellent portrait! Super series. Bravo!

A wonderful portrait. The light is superb!

estupendo retrato de este músico! viva la música y el arte!!!

my favorite in the series - love the intensity on his face

Nice serie of street musicians !

Something very special about a musician lost in his art, bravo JJ :)

Maybe a little more saturation :) but the picture is a great musicians portrait... very well done

How small the trumpet is compared to yesterday's shot, but what lovely sounds they play.
I like this one.

Dynamite portrait.

another wonderful portrait, looks like you had a good day

This is very cool. Good one.

I like these - street musician's (or any street people shots for that matter) have always been a challenge for me as well, but I think you have done a good job with these.

great portrait of this street musician and nice series jj!

These musician's portraits are superb !!

A great portrait of this musicians!

Nice portrait... the concentration in his face is a real picture.

Great catch on this one, and I wonder, post processing, or just wide open aperture??!!?? Whichever, works great, and I'll bet there's not much wrong with the shots you're not happy with!!! why don't you post and see what we all think????

This one is my favourite of the serie ... It's cool ... Thank you for this shot ...

I can almost imagine him playing "Oh when the Saints". Like the way you've captured his hands moving over the instrument.

excellent candid capture. he sure looks like he's enjoying the moment!

This looks nice, good angle.
I would think it would look good in B&W as well ..

Nice shot. He seems very concentrated.

By far.... the Best. But you never know you may have more wonders in your magic box. :-)

This one is great! I like the colours and composition! Perfect moment captured! :)

That is a nice portrait!
No need to complain ! ;-)

Wow, all the brass is worn off that trumpet. I can imagine he has played years and years. Thanks for the nice visit to the park.

I've been out of the loop for a few days and I'm just catching up! I like this series of shots, this is my pick from the crop too. It's nice and sharp, good DOF and very well composed. I love the look of concentration, lost in his music. I play brass and bugle so can totally relate to this!

a beautiful shot JJ! i love his modest concentration!!
