Hollywood Street Performer

[Plan9]

Was out shooting for an assignment for class that required us use a flash in an interesting lighting condition, so I chose Hollywood at Dusk. I didn't actually end up using this for the assignment, but still like the shot enough to share:

Here's the shot in color, by the way
I like both, so I figured why not post the original and see what you guys think:

Great shot! I agree that the slight blur shows the movement very well, but you still kept enough detail in the subject. Very nice!

I like the colour better :-) was it candid (as in was he just playing as he normally would)?

Colour is much better, interesting shot.

Yes it was. I did donate a dollar, and I was taking pictures for a couple minutes so he defininitely knew I was there...but he wasn't posing or anything. He was definitely very into the performance
