I like your crop. I cropped a pedestrian out, but missed the pole. |

Black and white was a great choice for this image: the tones are very nice and the focus generates a lot of interest. The framing and placement of the boy were good composition choices. Your message may have been more clear from another angle. When it stands alone, it is a nicely composed image, but it is difficult to discern the station and trade of the boy. Perhaps there was an angle from the opposite side where some trappings of the trade would be evident, such as signs, a counter, or some stools in front of the boy, some things that would clearly show this is a food stand being tended by a child. |

Shooting this without the spectators in the frame makes this work. Without the spectators, this image is more personal. your image also captures a moment in time: the expression on the face of the female, the flow of her skirt, and the position of her feet suggest motion. The colors are interesting and draw attention to her. The difficulty with the image is that it is difficult to discern the story that you are telling. Their story doesn't necessarily translate well to a photographic story. It isn't easy to take a meaningful photo of a street performer, although your image has many interesting elements. |

I like Isaac's crop of the image. This is a great story and it is told by his medals, cap, and the turquoise jewelry. The handbags are still a large distraction in Isaac's crop. I took it a step further and use Lightroom radial filter and a gradient from the upper right to mute the color and intensity of the handbags. My crop also moves the subject a little farther to the left and eliminates some of the bottom to focus more on the person. |

The Cuban flag and the barber pole are nice elements that help to tell the story. I agree with Isaac on the crop since the soda machine was a distraction. A slightly different shooting angle may also have helped by getting more of the suit cases and their price on the lower right into the frame. This is a very eclectic barber shop and the suitcases are a part of the story. A move to the right when shooting would also move the patrons to the left of the frame, drawing more attention to them. |

Nice composition and placement of the subject in the frame. I like the colors, contrast, and lighting. I suggest a slight crop to eliminate some sky and the distracting blue building on the left side. |

I like the subject and the composition. There is a nice leading line that takes our eyes to the volcano in the background. Black and white was a good choice since it accentuates the bridge very well. A slight crop from the upper right would eliminate some of the empty sky. If re-shot, I would move very slightly to the left to center the volcano in the arch of the bridge and to offer more details of the bridge since it has some interesting rib-like features. |
