    Street Candids

    Photos were taken in Old Montreal during one of those street performances. I couldn't resist taking a photo of the crowd's reaction. I just love that guy's laugh-- so genuine and so lost in the moment.

    I'm curious to know which photo is better-- the one zoomed out or the one with the tighter frame. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'd definitely stick with #1 as it brings in what they are laughing at. You really need context in street photos, and that first one does it nicely.

    That guy's laugh made me laugh. . .just not quite as large!

    Initially I was going to say #2 but after a little thought I have to agree with Ridgetop's comment. The blur on the right is also a distraction although the audience's enjoyment seems a little more to the fore in this.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos
