top of the empire state building

almost midnight, and this guy was just playing his sax. no one had a camera pointed at him. people were too busy looking at the view on the outside of the building. it was almost as if he wasn't really there.

I like it

color cast is putting me off - do it in B&W and you have a keeper.

i think it loses a little something this way

Do you have more shots? It's a shame it was so dark because I think the camera shake/movement of the people really takes away from what could have been a great shot.

I Prefer the B&W, it has that classic feel! You said that no one really paid him much attention, but the funny thing is, when you think back to that night, I bet you hear the Saxaphone playing, dont you?

Great shot! I truly like the feel of it!

I definitely prefer the B&W, it gives it more of a "loner" feel.

Spectacular shot, has a great deal of power behind it.

MM, i do have more shots of it, but i felt the saxophonist was sharp enough for the shot, with the main focus being on him, and i liked the feel of the people moving being a bit blurred-to me it showed the priority of getting to the next side of the building to see the view, while missing what else was going on.(no doubt the pic could use some improvement..all of mine could lol, but i was happy to capture the disinterest of the sight-seers)
