Hi Frank: I like this very much. Why not try a post-crop vignette--this
might darken out the background and give you a nice focus on the highlighted
areas like the guy, his cigarette, the highlights in his hair and on both
hands, and parts of the cello. Maybe even a stronger contrast. Just a
thought. Ignore if you don't like it :-) Cheers, Christine

I'm struggling with this one. Took about 1/2 dozen of this young man
(the cigarette rather interested me), but the background was horrible
- not just passing pedestrians, but all sorts of junk kept getting in
the way, not matter what angle I shot from. Harsh light wasn't my
friend either. Even this shot (the least cluttered of the bunch) was
cropped severely to "clean things up" - at least a bit.
Does it work? I'd prefer more environment in the shot, but given
that's not possible what are your thoughts on this one:

I fear it may be one for the trashcan - an "almost but not quite".
Hope you enjoy. Comments encouraged.
cheers,
frank
