    Magic Man

    I took this one last year, and cleaned it up a bit. I was attracted by the guy's reflection in the crystal ball. Feedback?

    I think he is younger than his beard belies.:smilewinkgrin: This is a really good candid John. I like the concentration on his face and the angle of the ball. I'm always fascinated by people who can balance and juggle things. I am forever falling over my own feet perhaps if I put the camera down I would see where I was going. Great shot!

    Sure John!
    You know, you should think about putting your photographs here in your own gallery and link them that way so everyone can see them.
    PJ was telling me that everyone here has nearly unlimited storage space.
    Just a thought.

    Nope, not my work connection. Showing up fine today I used to have problems with Photobucket in the past occasionally.

    Cool capture. This is one I could definitely see being fun to play with in Photoshop

    Great action. I love the focus, intensity in his eyes,.Is it possible that the hair goes with the hat? .Maybe I'm wrong.
    Nice work

    Great shot John, your composition works, the vibrant colors are eye catching, and the expression of concentration on the guy's face is excellent.

    Thanks one and all. The best thing about street performers is they're so busy performing they can't chase you. He was a good subject.
