A person playing saxophone is always a great scene to enjoy and this picture just gives us the joy of that moment as well as the great view at the back. The color balanced is great and lighting is well balanced. Nicely focused and even the shadow has given the picture a nice dimension.

Nik,
A beautiful picture of this gentleman Busking on the Pier in Santa Monica in the sunshine a very battered stool behind him & a jar for Tip in a bag at his feet, a microphone attached to his Saxophone to ensure the sound can be heard at a distance, a large Stetson on his head & his eyes protected behind his sunglasses. Beautiful background of the shoreline & the sea behind him. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

He looks as if he can blow exciting tunes. He reminds me of the street musicians in Savannah and New Orleans. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The tall format emphasizes the pos of the musician remarkably. The photo is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Nikman,

That is a Big Busker you've captured there on the Santa Monica pier! Gorgeous colors and great clarity here. Look! He's got that bag with a BIG Tips sign in it...

Lot of interesting details in this. Super!

Such joyful and fun presentation of this saxophone player so nicely presented with the blue ocean and sky and the Santa Monica in the background. Great composition and so nice to view.

The saxophone is my favorite woodwind instrument. I wish I could be standing there to listen!
Well captured with good focus, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear true and natural. Well composed allowing a good sense of this location. Well presented!
