    I enjoy shooting street entertainers, but find I don't get out often enough to do this type of shooting. They definitely have interesting costumes.

    The main issue with this shot is that you effectively have three main subjects, so the viewer's eyes go from one to the other. I suspect this would have been an even stronger image had the three entertainers been closer together so that they ended up being a single main subject.

    Many thanks, Manfred. Actually for once in my life, I am ahead of you! 😮 I decided about 1/2 hour ago that this was a better shot. You have confirmed my belief!

    It is definitely the stronger shot of the two and hopefully you now understand why and what to look for in the future.

    Would this be better, without the powercord?

    Jim, how about cloning the powercord and the 'dark bits' bottom of picture? Love everything else.
    Cheers Ole
