Description I was documenting Street Performers around City area. I was waiting particularly for this street entertainer, as I initially thought that s/he will involve spectators for this show. And he did.

On this particular event, he was asking for the child to mimic his expression. Which he couldn't do, and just smile away

Anyway, we all enjoy the show. Had a good laugh and all. Thanks to the street performers around Melbourne that keep this city full of joy for the people.


----------

This is actually the first time I'm 'laying' around with the image. I'm getting bored with the usual shape; I'm using smudge to do whatever effect that you can see here, and I wanted to get away from that 'conservative' one (where it was only plain square and all) to something abit more lively or dynamic as the moment is captured there. I was going to put them in color which could further enhance whatever I had in mind about this image; but there's a rather distracting background on the back of the child (had a very bright colour sweater). I had to opted to this BnW version.

Comments and critiques are encouraged and most welcome. I really need many of them so that I can improve further ...

Thank you very much ...



Ps: This is taken in early August, using D100 + 80-200 f/2.8. Thanks Acha ... ...
