Critique Welcomed Busker

[Brian Moore]

Canon QL-17 GIII and Arista EDU 400 film processed in Caffenol.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Reminds me of that Kinks song ...lazing on a summers afternoon or what ever it is .. Like the bikes, bit of bike and people and of course the flags in the warm breeze; all parked up and relaxed. The Busker seems very relaxed about it all too as though he was just strumming away for his own enjoyment. That's the mood of it all.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I love me some buskers Brian. I search them out wherever I go. Excellent shot!

 

[Pete Askew]

It does seem to radiate heat Brian and I like the toning and overall composition. Are some of those flags at half-mast?

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I go along with Tom here, even the song

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Excellent shot. Love the water bottle and the bikes, especially the half-wheel on the right. From his posture, he looks like a classical guitarist...?

 

[Nick Lukey]

Nicely done Brian, captured a moment and atmoshere very nicely.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent again Brian. Love the semi silhouette, the scene is as if set up for an image. Well seen.

That would be "Sunny Afternoon" by the Kinks I do believe, Tom. Thanks for the comments, Tom. I think you identified the mood about right!

Thanks, Glenn. It's nice to support buskers!

Thanks, Pete. No, the flags are at the tops of the flagpoles. Perhaps the perspective suggests they are lower.

 

[Pete Askew]

I see. Thanks. Two looked lower than the others.

Thanks, Rob. You may be right about the guitarist, although in the picture the headstock suggests a folk guitar. (I didn't actually hear what the chap was playing.)

Thanks, Nick. Appreciated!

Thanks, Julian. Much appreciated!

Dammit! I never saw those two. Well,...OK,...they're lower than the two I actually saw. But they're higher up than "half mast" so there!

(Note to self: Look at yer bliddy foties before Pedro gets tae them!)
