Shot of a street performer playing classical guitar in Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne, Australia.

Besides some fantastic music, the facial expressions were great!



B/W treatment & vignetting applied to get rid of distracting stuff. Comments appreciated!

I love it. Minimal background provides context. But you have definitely made the background non-distracting.

Great shot, really crwates a mood. Like the vignetting.

Thanks guys - it was a busy mall so it was hard to get a "clean" background.

Nice one Jules! Great moment.

I rememember taking a similar photo of a guitarist in the Burke St Mall last time I was in Melbourne about 2 years ago. It sticks in my memory because one of the people watching the busker almost got run over by a tram! :/

Cool capture of the moment, love the mood!

Thanks again guys.

@Kombi - I actually was almost run over by a tram that day! Oops..
