What a great idea! I really like your clever take on the brief, catching a street-performer off-duty. The colour combination is brilliant, and the contrast pulls your eye directly to the subject. The composition also works really well, and the position of the subject in the frame leaves us questioning where he's come from and where he's heading.
This image shows a great amount of knowledge and technicality! Being able to capture this moment in such detail (a bubble within a bubble) must have taken patience and persistence. The composition is good, with the bubble being the centrepiece and therefore attracting attention of the viwer, and the vibrant colours and editing almost make it look as though this was taken in another era.

Go into any town, city or otherwise populated area and you're likely to come across a street performer. Jugglers, musicians, artists – as well as providing passers-by with free entertainment, these individuals offer photographers the opportunity to capture some rich character portraits.
A clever take on the brief, capturing a performer who isn't quite on the street! That being said, I feel as though you've paid too much attention to the pianist, and not enough to the composition of the frame; it's a bit too cluttered, and the viewer doesn't quite know where to look. Also, I don't feel as though you've adequately caught the beauty of the city that the shot was taken in. Great effort!
